Explanation

Sequence CADB: C establishes Bottcher worked for William I as an alchemist; A gives his reason for leaving (unbearable supervision); D suggests the true reason was fear of being caught making fake gold; B comments 'He got away just in time'; and sentence 6 reveals he was arrested upon reaching Saxony - justifying B's comment. The narrative flows from background to departure motive to escape to consequence.
