Synopsis
Le 20 aout 1672, la ville de La Haye, si vivante, si blanche, si coquette que l'on dirait que tous les jours sont des dimanches, la ville de La Haye, avec son parc ombreux, avec ses grands arbres inclines sur ses maisons gothiques, avec les larges miroirs de ses canaux dans lesquels se refletent ses clochers aux coupoles presque orientales ; la ville de La Haye, la capitale des sept Provinces-Unies, gonflait toutes ses arteres d'un flot noir et rouge de citoyens presses, haletants, inquiets, lesquels couraient, le couteau a la ceinture, le mousquet sur l'epaule ou le baton a la main, vers le Buytenhoff, formidable prison dont on montre encore aujourd'hui les fenetres grillees et ou, depuis l'accusation d'assassinat portee contre lui par le chirurgien Tyckelaer, languissait Corneille de Witt, frere de l'ex-grand pensionnaire de Hollande.
