Toco, thanks for this extra info you heard, which I missed when it was posted half a year ago.

I was told that He also was caught once entering a home to leave a dowry for a young lady, through one of the large old chimneys they had, because his usual method of entering through a window was blocked by a sleeping beggar under it. So that was the only other way in. Of course those chimneys were huge, as were the fireplaces at the time, so there was plenty of room.
