Yesterday morning, the Doctor did the strangest thing to me. You see, I'm writing a book, and I asked him for a little help with one bit that was giving me trouble. I asked him for ideas, and he lay back on the couch, took off his glasses, and closed his eyes. I thought he was asleep, and asked if he was trying to think of an idea, or sleeping. He sat up, and said he was awake, and that I had disturbed his thoughts, so I stayed quiet. Five minutes later, he hadn't moved. Don't worry, I thought to myself, he's just thinking. Then, he started breathing very slowly and deeply, like when someone's asleep. I think, I added to myself. I was beginning to think of "The Masque of Mandragora", when the Doctor is thinking, and the Prince (or something like that - it's an episode I've seen only a few times, and that was a while ago) comes in to ask if he should go ahead with the masque. The Doctor is sitting on a chair next to Sarah, trying to find a solution to the problem, with his eyes closed and his head flopped, and the Prince comes in and stops half-way through his sentence, thinking he's asleep, and Sarah says, "Oh, don't worry. He's just thinking." But then the Doctor snores and she adds, "I think." Then the Doctor jumps up with his finger in the air, saying something like, "That's it!" Then he runs out of the room before the Prince can talk, thanking him for the costume he was holding and telling him "it'll do perfectly."
I was just about to laugh and say, "Doctor! Wake up! I thought you were meant to be thinking," when, all of a sudden, he sits straight up, and shouts, "I've got it!"
So you see why I am so convinced that he must be the Doctor. I mean, who could do something so similar without being him?
