Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor frees Stevenson by breaking a lantern and using the glass to cut their bonds, demonstrating quick resourcefulness under pressure. Later, he attempts to escape on horseback by using a football rattle to startle the riders, again improvising with available tools. Both events show the Doctor's ingenuity in tight situations."
