Wallace At Bay (2016)
“Sitting on the ground, with his back to the barrel, he was engaged in industriously rubbing the cord binding his wrists up and down against the broken end of the hoop. The manoeuvre was not proving very successful, for the metal was loose and gave to the movement. However, when this was explained to Miles, he planted his foot on it, thus steadying it. Thereafter Carter progressed satisfactorily until he had cut through two or three strands. He had little difficulty then in removing the rest of ...the cord. After rubbing his wrists vigorously to restore the circulation, for they had been bound together very tightly, he set to work to release the hands of his companions. Before long they were all free. Miles massaged his own hands, while Carter performed a like service to Sir Leonard’s one. They sat on the barrel and discussed the position.
