Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In the source, Holbein provokes Cromwell into articulating his guiding principle: the 'double entry' bookkeeping of the soul ('Never go to bed until the books are balanced'). In the target, Holbein is present when a destabilizing political entry (Margaret's treasonous secret marriage) must be immediately recorded and balanced in the ledgers of the state."
