However Lord Douglas's son, Will took a liking to Mary and pledged his support to her.  On the next big celebration day Will spiked everyones drinks and one by one they all started passing out allowing him to simply pluck the gate key from the guard's belt, hop in a boat and row to the shore where some of her supporters where ready waiting for her.
