The interview , which took place in French , is not easily reproduced in English . Orange wrote one account of the scene , and Castrillon confided another to Prince d'Alchingen , and the above is probably as nearly as possible a faithful description of what actually passed .

He let himself into the house with a latch-key , and groped his way up the creaking unlit staircase . On entering his room , the draught between the open window and the door set all his papers whirling from his writing-table , and , by a strange accident , dislodged his crucifix from its nail .
