Summary
'Then, the Doctor hummed to himself unsatisfactorily and opened his mouth to reply. But whatever sounds he was making, they weren’t human. Not English, not even an earth language- that was clear. Strange alien trilling that tickled Steven’s ears with sickly harmony. The consonants (if that was what they were, it was hard to make out) weaved around the room, Steven found them almost hypnotic. In contrast to the sing-song tune he uttered, which betrayed no tone, the Doctor’s face turned to one of irritation. Steven stared at the old man, he had never heard anything like that before and it scared him.'
The Tardis translation circuit breaks, leaving Steven the Doctor and Dodo stranded on their own little islands of language.
