"Doctor?"

"Hmm? What is it, Rose?" He notices her looking at him oddly and wonders why.

"You know we're trying to, well, blend in and all?" He looks at her, his whole face a question mark.

"Yes; and your point is?"

"Well, I'm just saying ..." She looks away.

"What is it?"

"Well ..." She hesitates, suddenly not so keen to talk.

"Come on, Rose. If there's a problem just tell me."

"All right, then, you asked for it: you'd do better going back to the brown suit – that one you have on will make you stick out like a sore thumb."

"Oi!"

"Sorry, but it's the truth."

"What's wrong with this suit?" She looks at him as if he's dribbled on his shirt; he hates it when she does that.

"Doctor, it makes you look like an estate agent."

"Oh. Right." Looks like an estate agent, does he? Next thing he knows she'll be asking him for a mortgage. A mortgage! He shudders. "That settles it. The brown it is."
