Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wriothesley's delaying tactics, reported by Rafe, directly result in Rafe learning of Cromwell's arrest from Richard Riche, who is 'visibly ashamed'. This establishes Wriothesley as a key player in the betrayal and highlights the element of shame and regret among some of Cromwell's associates."
