Every step stirred up the dust of decades, making the Doctor sneeze loudly. The whole place had an air of abandonment.
“Blimey,” Donna said. “Someone forgot to pay the cleaners. Where are we?”
“The Palace of Archimboole. There was a time it was considered the most beautiful building in the Seven Realms.”
