Susan glanced around to make sure nobody was paying untoward attention to her, then tucked her umbrella and bag into that Place she kept things she didn't want right then but would want sooner or later. "I should say that if many people are finding themselves stuck here like we are, it is a most unusual New York. The fact that I can't leave makes it even more unusual. Not a place I've ever been to before."
"The Doctor? Odd, doesn't sound familiar. Grandfather and I generally know everyone." She chuckled, " Grandfather and I have a Way with Time and Space. Dimensions, universes, that sort of thing. I was taking a short holiday to visit Grandfather's Realm, which is outside all of those when I ended up here. I can still travel about this New York, but can't leave the area, and seem to be stuck in time. It is irritating, but a sensible person does not panic when there is a problem, she solves the problem. What about you?"
