Ah... I don't think I' much like to meet this "Master." Even if he came here I wouldn't want anything to happen to you! I love you too much to see you get hurt.
But the last two don't sound so horrible. So, are the other Time Lords your friends? Not the Master, obviously, but... well... did they ever go on adventures with you?
The Time Lords don't much like me, most of the time. But there was one who travelled with me, named Romana. She became the President later on, too. One of the better ones, definitely.
How could anyone dislike you! You're absolutely splendid! These Time Lords must be such silly gooses!... er... geese. [Because an insult should have proper grammar regardless!]
I'm glad to hear about one who enjoyed traveling with you. Oh! So then, she was American, this Romana?
It... you don't follow their laws? I don't understand. Aren't you supposed to follow laws? What do you mean, rubbish? Are they like the Queen and King of Hearts who order everyone beheaded for some slight or another. I do understand not obeying their laws, but aren't you all Time Lords? Wouldn't you know the best laws to make?
No, no. Well, not really. Not always. Not quite like that. The thing is-- Well. The Time Lords decided that since we can travel in time, we better not interfere, so interfering means breaking the law. I’ve never been good at that. Not interfering.
Interfere? Interfere in what, precisely? Saving the universe? I should much rather the universe be saved than a silly little law about not interfering be maintained. If the universe is in danger, the other Time Lords would be as well.
My goodness! Imagine how busy she must have been! The whole world! Well... unless your world is a very small world! Oh! [Tangent in three... two... one...] Imagine if your world was no larger than a mountain or a pea! Why, then being the president is sure to be quite easy! And if the mountain and pea were like the Tardis, where even though it's a box a that isn't a box that is bigger on the inside, why, I should think it would be the easiest thing in that case! Especially if everything were inside a little pea! Just a little green pea floating in space with it's own little sun no bigger than a watermelon! [She giggled.]
Ah, well, they didn’t have much complaining to do about saving the universe, I don’t think. Once or twice they recruited me to do it. But I got involved in matters of a single world, or city, and they liked that far less.
[ But, oh, Alice, you are the most precious thing. He laughs at the tangent, something warm and hearty. Bless. ]
Well, most of it was confined to this globe where the city was. Time Lord society. We never did spread out quite so far. But, then, the High Council was also there to make sure time stayed intact, which was also a lot of work. So the President sort of had it double.
You can't be allowed to interfere with one thing and not on others about saving things. That's like having an officer only help in stopping murder but not robbery. Silly indeed, Doctor.
Globe? I'm not sure I understand. The entire city was all over the planet? How isn't that spreading out far?
Well, not really. It's a bit different when it involves history. But, no, not that much either.
No, no, but it had glass around it. A glass globe. And she had the High Council, among others. She asked for advice, made choices and decisions and handed out orders according to those choices and decisions.
Not any more curious than you lot, with your cities on water and next to volcanoes and earthquake areas. Just because you can. Well, and because you need the space, I suppose, but mostly because you can.
Cities on water? [All she can think of are islands and that's not really a city on water so much as a city on an island. The volcanoes though, she can only think of the Greeks.]
But what would happen if the globe broke, or more likely, someone shook it?
Well... I suppose that's a good thing at least, to not have to worry about it breaking. Ah but, couldn't someone steal the entire city by just putting it in their pocket or bag?

[ And another laugh, more obvious this time, as he shakes his head again. ]
No, I mean she was the President of my world. Gallifrey.
[Video]
Oh! Ah! She was the president of the whole world?
[Video]
She was, yeah.

[Video]
Whyever would you put a city in a globe?
[Video]
Good question. It was pretty? Well. From the outside, it was.
[Video]
You mean to say a bunch of Time Lords put the city in a globe for no reason at all? My goodness! What a curious sort you are!
