Display of Fabrics
A rough-hewn display of bolted woolen fabrics—rippling strips of deep crimson, indigo, and ochre—hang unevenly from a merchant's wooden frame in San Martino's market square. The fabrics' coarse weave and gathered folds create a thick barrier behind which The Doctor squats unseen, his posture compressed against the stone wall as pursuers pass a dozen feet away. Dust motes rise from the fabric's wrinkled surfaces when he shifts, and his ragged cloak snags briefly on a frayed thread before he frees himself and flees deeper into the alleys.
