Autumn
Autumn has the Doctor settling down in an English village to play cricket while Nyssa tries her hand at writing a novel. Instead, she catches the attention of a local boy who pesters her about her unwritten book. Uneasily, Nyssa falls in love, and contemplates life on Earth, left behind by the Doctor, where she will age and face her own Autumn.

Famous quotes containing the word autumn:
“They may bring their fattest cattle and richest fruits to the fair, but they are all eclipsed by the show of men. These are stirring autumn days, when men sweep by in crowds, amid the rustle of leaves like migrating finches; this is the true harvest of the year, when the air is but the breath of men, and the rustling of leaves is as the trampling of the crowd.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is surprising with what impunity and comfort one who has always lain in a warm bed in a close apartment, and studiously avoided drafts of air, can lie down on the ground without a shelter, roll himself in a blanket, and sleep before a fire, in a frosty autumn night, just after a long rain-storm, and even come soon to enjoy and value the fresh air.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... with autumn falling over everything;
The plush leaves the chattels in barrels
Of an obscure family being evicted
Into the way it was, and is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
