At this point, the Doctor is now in a very deep well and stuck. Hence the name of the book. Martha is freaking out above and the Doctor is bored out of his mind. Just as the Doctor just about loses his mind, he is sucked even further into the well where he discovers that the creature inside is alive and very, very dangerous. Then Martha has the (brilliant) idea to start drilling into the well. She nearly kills the Doctor but they both escape knowing that they have to stop this very evil creature.
The endless knowledge continues. The term that stuck out the most to me this time was peremptory. Peremptory means insisting immediate attention or obedience in a brusquely imperious way. That's the long way of having an insulting attitude and wanting to be obeyed without question. So, a snotty rich person who's used to getting their way in even simpler terms. Sounds about right to me.
