She described her clothes which indicated that it was the Victorian era. She said that she was suppose to be wearing a Victorian type gown, but that cannot be worn while travelling. The skirts are flatter at the front and projected more outwardly at the back. The back portion of the gown has all sorts of decoration like puffs and strips covering the skirt and the whole gown has lace work all over. Embroidery in silver or gold is also in fashion. These dresses require gauze lining to stiffen it, as well as multiple starched petticoats. Even the clothes women need to ride horses, sitting sideways, have similar designs.
When the ladies went out for walks, then they wore a walking costume consisting of a loose jacket and a matching skirt. The skirt was drawn up for easy walking and slightly ankle-length with underskirt or petticoat and hoops. There was a bowler-like hat wrapped in a scarf or veil to finish the attire.
However,she had had her dresses modified. No stiffening or corsets were set in her clothes. The skirts she had were above ankle length so that she could walk and climb hills etc and even ride a horse as a man would, not sideways as women did in that time.
"Men, on the other hand, wear an overcoat with very wide lapels, wide cuffs, a contrasting (probably velvet) collar, and braid trim over a frock coat, waistcoat, and trousers made of matching fabric, a large necktie loosely looped and secured with a stickpin, and then tucked into the waistcoat.
She said that her name was Margret Smith. She was 24 years old, about 5'5" tall, quite slim, a red head, with blue eyes and a sunny disposition. She felt that she belonged to India from past lives.
Dr. Viktor Demetrius asked, "What more can you remember?"
"A month later they reached Bombay, and took the train to Delhi, and then from Delhi to Pragyaraj, traveled was about of 2000 km. It was an uncomfortable journey. After reaching Pragyraj, the team rested for a week. Then their journey commenced on horse drawn buggies to the nearest town called Chamoli. After this their entire journey was uphill and they used horses or they walked. The valley is about 866 Km from Pragyraj. She gave a clear and beautiful description of the valley and how they had set up camp there.
The Doctor asked, "What happened then?"
Everyone started working making sketches, pressing flowers in a few heavy books etc
One day, she ventured a bit further away from the camp. No one was in visible range or within earshot and Ian Brown cornered me. He blamed Margret of ditching his friend and both of them had a heated argument. There was some pushing and they both fell off a cliff.
"Anything else that you remember?" asked the Doctor.
"There was pin drop silence. Then Tania started to speak in a strange manner."
"Nooo nothing, just that the person that I was supposed to have ditched was Peter Black." Tania replied.
"Anything else that you would like to tell me?" The Doctor inquired.
"Yes of course Doctor, there is a lot to tell, like why Tania is meeting her Uncle in different lives and he always manages to murder her." some one answered.
"Who are you?" The Doctor asked with raised eyebrows and a thoughtful expression on his face. "You are not Tania?"
The question was answered by a pearl of laughter.
"Doctor, you asked Tania to call me to explain things. So I have come."
Yesterday, through meditation my husband and I spoke to Tania."
Tania had traveled back into my time to connect with me to deliver a message that I should be here today to bring to surface certain facts."
"My name is Sanya and you can ask me anything."
"You are speaking with a different accent." The Doctor was surprised.
"Arun and I, ran away straight after the coronation ceremony. It took us quite a long time to get to the coast on the side where your present day Gujarat coast line is situated."
"Tania reached across to us via meditation and connected with her past."
"I live in Mesopotamia, that is why the accent is different," she replied and added, "Arun, my husband, manages the overseas branch of his family's trading business."
"I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, so to speak. My parents were the King and Queen,"
"I enjoying all the comforts of the royal family up-till the death of my parents."
"The coronation ceremony was organised by my uncle, the King's younger brother."
"He wanted to usurp the throne after getting me married off to a friend of his who was the ruler of the adjacent kingdom."
"Arun, was a regular visitor to our kingdom as he would bring a lot of things from all over the world to sell in all the adjacent province."
"I got to know him and we would meet whenever he came to my province."
"Our meetings slowly turned into love for each other and we could not bear to even think of a life in which the other was not there."
"He, somehow, found from the adjacent kingdom, that the person who I was to marry, had hatched a plan to kill me along with the help of my Uncle."
"My uncle did not have my concern at heart. He was plotting my murder with the help of his friend."
"Once I was out of the way, he would get rid of his friend too. He would not let anyone in the conspiracy survive as they would prove a threat for him in the future."
"Arun informed me and we decided to run away. There was no alternative, as you would say it was the TINA factor."
After reaching Mesopatamia, we got married. I am a much happier person. I am having a jewelery business of my own too and enjoy living the life of the business wife of a trader."
"Actually, Arun and I were about to set sail for Mesopotamia, when we met Tania and spoke to her."
"As per her request, I gave her my assurance that I would come and explain things to you."
"I am sure you want to know why we are all coming down to earth and this uncle comes to kill the same person and how we can stop this?"
