[ And this time Jamie is right, the Doctor's mouth twisting down in annoyance. ]

No. Not yet, anyway. I was going to, things just kept adding up and here we are.

[bonnypiperlad]

Oh, aye. Of course. [Resignedly, Jamie starts going through the tubes again.]

Oh, what's the use? We'll never find it in time. I wish you could come up with some clever way to find this easier, Doctor.

[makeherblue]

[ The Doctor stiffens for a moment, just like Jamie had reacted to "I wish" earlier. ]

I'm surprised you didn't think to try sneezing on it. A sneeze is the perfect frequence to make a Bratlett hum, you know. It's all in the tubing.

[bonnypiperlad]

[He just barely catches the motion out of the corner of his eye, but by the time Jamie turns to look, the Doctor's going on about sneezes, of all things.]

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, Doctor.

[There are times when Jamie wonders when exactly when it was the Doctor first went daft, and this is one of those. Still, looking at the box, he really can't come up with a better plan. With a resigned sigh, he tries to sneeze on the box, only to find that it's not really something he can simply do.]

How am I supposed to make myself sneeze when I've no need to?

[makeherblue]

[ If the Doctor wasn't quite so blinded by the blown Bratlett, he'd be giving Jamie a Look.]

Ridiculous? It's perfectly sane, it's not my fault you didn't think of the obvious solution.

No allergies? Because by my reckoning we don't have a lot of time for you to get lucky.

[bonnypiperlad]

Not unless ye happen to have some of that toxic gas from those weed creatures that we fought the one time.

[That would make him sneeze quite easily. Then again, it's probably for the best that there isn't actually one currently aboard the TARDIS. Without Victoria to scream, they might not be able to stop it this time. No, Jamie will just have to think of something else.]

Hmm.

[A quick glance around shows nothing he could easily use to make himself sneeze, unless he wanted to try the fireplace ashes. So Jamie does the only other thing he can think of that might work, plucking out one of his nose hairs with a sharp yank.]

Ah...ah...ACHOO!

[Right on the box of tubes. And sure enough, one of them starts to hum. Jamie grabs it before it can stop.]

I've got it! Come on, Doctor, let's go.
