The Doctor sniffed. "I'd say it's loads better than trying to take over worlds." And yes, sometimes he might have some...well, to be fair unkind thoughts toward humanity, but generally they surprised him and reminded him all over again why he was so fond of them and so he liked to think their definitions of snooping were vastly differently. Incredibly different!

He can think of all sorts of ways the Master could "stoop" according to his own warped definition of it. After all, the man probably thought of them as overgrown apes. And he remembered seeing how Lucy was reacting around "Saxon". He'd had a year of being stuck on the Valiant to have an agonizing front row seat to his reign over Earth.

Things like that tended to leave a bad taste in your mouth.

"Did you find Lucy precious?" The Doctor blurted, intensely curious. He had to know.
