Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In 204, Cromwell, feverish and weak, dispatches his half-brother Richard with a letter, with Christophe assisting; in 205, Cromwell, politically imperiled, dispatches Rafe with Cicero's wisdom, with Christophe again serving silently. Both scenes show Cromwell acting despite personal cost, with Christophe as a steady attendant."
