The universe has a way of humbling those that do not show proper regard for these things.
Listen - Sage and Savant, Episode 111: A Far Future Universe, Being forced to dress for dinner has a rather deleterious effect on our Doctor’s sense of caution. Is it that her corset is too tight? The rustling silk of her skirts too heavy? The kid leather of her gloves to constricting? Whatever the cause, the result is a champagne-fueled flight into the far future under the shadow of the mysterious Charges du Faire.
Listen - Sage and Savant, Episode 112 part 1: Wracked and Ruin, Dr Sage intends on only taking a short trip, traveling specifically to a war-torn period of time to help ensure her demise.
