"I don't care", said Mary Anne.
She looked down the cobbled road, where The Doctor harrassed her.
The man smiled, as he saw her undress.
"Show yer wares", said he.
And then he saw her smile.
The man backed off a way.
Feeling craven, he grabbed a dagger in his right hand. He then moved forward. Something wasn't right.
"It seems ye 'ave a death curse...Once we do the business, ye'll never see me again", said he.
Once he made love, he slashed at Mary Ann's breasts. The dagger cut her flesh. She screamed, as blood splattered onto the cobbled road.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
And The Doctor arrived.
"It seems that such violence is near...Aye...very near...My associate is dining...And wishes not to be disturbed...I do agree...Now, public sex is not good...I know that London is depressing...There's no hope; hope is a word...Corpora lente augescent cito extinguuntur, ("Bodies grow slowly and die quickly").
