Balthasar came up with a plan to get close to the well-guarded William of Orange. And sure enough, Balthasar succeeded, after which he immediately started a fierce discussion with him. The argument got so out of hand that Balthasar did something terrible. He had to flee quickly before anyone found out. His only way out was the secret exit of Delft!
