Detalles como "los soldados aseguran que Tom y el príncipe permanecen separados por la puerta" lo demuestran. Sin embargo, el texto no muestra cómo se resuelve este problema.

Los soldados se aseguran de que no se acerquen, como se ve en la frase 'The soldiers make certain that Tom and the prince remain separated by the gate'. Además, la presencia de los curiosos y vagos de Londres agrava la situación, ya que presionan al príncipe a ayudar a Tom. Sin embargo, el texto no dice cómo se resuelve este conflicto."
