The Peterloo Massacre (audio story): Difference between revisions

he Doctor demands a shocked Hurley to give them his horse. Tegan finds Nyssa and the Doctor who says they're going to try get Cathy to a [[hospital]] on horseback. The Doctor berates Hurley who dismisses him and says they deserved it and walks away, his job done. The Doctor tells Thomas to write down the events and have them published back in [[London]]. In the [[Hospital|infirmary]] they discuss Cathy's recovery with the [[Sister (The Peterloo Massacre)|Sister]] on duty and when Nyssa remarks why there aren't more injured poor people from the protest there, Tegan explains it's because they can't pay the hospital fees. William, guilt-stricken, says that Cathy's treatment will be covered under the Hurley's account and explains he's going back to the city to see if he can help anyone else. The Sister sadly explains to Nyssa that even if their costs were covered the poor won't come because the infirmary would be forced to take their names, and their involvement in the event would implicate them, then leaves to go about her duties. Nyssa explains to Tegan that a great change seems to have come over William Hurley, and she suspects it's not because of the events of today, but that Cathy mentioned the two were childhood friends and grew up together and she strongly suspects that her dead child, Peter, is William Hurley's son.
