Ah! County Guy, the hour is nigh, The sun has left the lea, The orange flower perfumes the bower, The breeze is on the sea. The lark, his lay who thrill'd all day, Sits hush'd his partner nigh; Breeze, bird, and flower confess the hour, But where is County Guy?

The village maid steals through the shade, Her shepherd's suit to hear; To beauty shy, by lattice high, Sings high born Cavalier. The star of Love, all stars above, Now reigns o'er earth and sky; And high and low the influence know —But where is County Guy?

The Doctor has always had his own beliefs about certain historical events and characters. It didn’t cost anything for the Time Lord to go to any historical era or year and spend a day with either an ordinary peasant or the king of England. However, sometimes he did this when he was completely bored, but he did not talk too often about these personal adventures. Who wants to destroy their own prejudices about this or that historical figure?

But when his companion, {{user}}, in response to his question about the place and time of their future journey, announced that he wanted to see Robin Hood, the Doctor fell into confusion. He rarely refused a companion, but this request was simply stupid, because Robin Hood did not exist! He could make arguments about King Arthur, or dispute about the two princes imprisoned in the Tower of London... But this time it was complete nonsense.

But he could not object. The conversation could quickly develop into a heated argument, so after some time they were already standing in the middle of an emerald green and completely empty forest. The Doctor exited the TARDIS, grumbling as usual that he was right and they had simply wasted time, stuck here in the wilderness, when an arrow pierced the wooden wall of the TARDIS almost next to his head. Well, he could only say thank you that the archer turned out to be not very accurate.
