[[Fourth Doctor|The Doctor]] pilots [[the TARDIS]] from [[1852]] [[London]] to [[Nottinghamshire]] in the same year, materialising in [[Newstead Abbey]]'s [[hedge maze]] and leaving [[K9 Mark II|K9]] inside to charge. They attempt to follow a [[plague doctor]] and meet [[Hettie Jacobs|Hettie]], a [[maid]] who denies having seen anybody and is called away by [[housekeeper]] [[Hobhouse]], who mistakes the Doctor for a [[physician]] and invites him and Ann into the abbey. [[Wildman|Colonel Wildman]] shows them to the unwell [[Ada Lovelace]], for whom the Doctor prescribes rest and Ann fetches a cold compress from the [[scullery]]. Whilst Ann is escorted there by Hobhouse and sees Hettie washing Ada's muddy [[nightgown]], the Doctor is given a tour of the grounds by Wildman.
[[Fourth Doctor|The Doctor]] pilots [[the TARDIS]] from [[1852]] [[London]] to [[Nottinghamshire]] in the same year, materialising in [[Newstead Abbey]]'s [[hedge maze]] and leaving [[K9 Mark II|K9]] inside to charge. They attempt to follow a [[plague doctor]] and meet [[Hettie Jacobs|Hettie]], a [[maid]] who denies having seen anybody and is called away by [[butler]] [[Hobhouse]], who mistakes the Doctor for a [[physician]] and invites him and Ann into the abbey. [[Wildman|Colonel Wildman]] shows them to the unwell [[Ada Lovelace]], for whom the Doctor prescribes rest and Ann fetches a cold compress from the [[scullery]]. Whilst Ann is escorted there by Hobhouse and sees Hettie washing Ada's muddy [[nightgown]], the Doctor is given a tour of the grounds by Wildman and learns that Ada believes she is going [[insanity|insane]].
 
The Doctor tasks Ann with keeping an eye on the house and, having suspicions, acquires a [[map]] from Wildman. He joins Ada in playing [[cribbage]] at the [[Babblewick Arms]], where she has been [[gambling]] since [[William King|Lord King]] [[exile]]d her to Newstead Abbey for landing him in [[debt]] with a failed gambling syndicate. On their way back in Wildman's [[carriage]], the [[horse]] is spooked by a figure which Ada believes to be the [[ghost]] of her father, [[George Gordon Byron|Lord Byron]], whom only she had been able to see until now. Ann discovers that Ada is missing from the abbey and looks at her [[notebook]]s despite Hobhouse's protestations, finding drawings and numbers which she and Hobhouse have little time to interpret before they are forced to hide in the [[wardrobe]] from somebody.
