"I know there isn't." Although it was a bit of a Catch-22, if he readily admitted that there was no end to his ego, wasn't it? There was a very good reason Martha hadn't been a literature student at uni. (Well, other than her lifelong ambition to become a doctor.)

"Oh, it is - though it's easier now that I don't have to try and keep the peace with Mum and Dad and Annalise." And Martha definitely didn't miss those days. "And I got to see Keisha again. I swear that girl grows an inch every time I turn around!" Did the Doctor even know she had a niece? She wasn't sure if the topic had ever come up - he certainly wasn't much of one for discussing family (particularly Martha's). Which was probably a good thing, really, because Martha could go on about the topic for ages if nobody stopped her.
