On the day before yesterday Christoph Madrucci, the Cardinal of Trent, his warlike brother Hildebrand, and the Count of Arco had arrived, bringing news from the Council; but on the morrow Duke Maurice of Saxony was expected, and the most important negotiations were to be carried on not only with him, but also with the former, each individual being dealt with singly and at different hours.
At last the open rupture came. The archbishop called him a knave and dissolute fellow, and told him to be off; and when Mozart waited upon Count Arco, the principal official, to obtain the regular dismissal that was necessary, the fellow poured abuse upon him, and actually kicked him out of the room.
Count Arco seemed to be most agitated, and I could see, by the expression of the faces of the other officers, that they were more disturbed than they wanted us to notice. What should I do?

Signora de Sanctis lived with her sister in one of the old streets in the lower part of the city near the Pantheon the Via Arco della Ciambella.

Count Arco, seeing my embarrassment, proposed my staying the night at Petit Val. Henry's living there made it easier for me. So I accepted his offer; besides, there was no choice. The soldiers arranged my room according to their ideas of a lady's requirements, which included a boot-jack, ash-trays, beer-mugs, etc. Their intentions were of the best.
The Cardinal of Mantua, wishing to have painted with the greatest possible rapidity the whole interior of his Palace beside the Arco di Portogallo, allotted that work to Taddeo for a proper price; and Taddeo, beginning it with the help of a good number of men, in a short time carried it to completion, showing that he had very great judgment in being able to employ so many different brains harmoniously in so great a work, and in managing the various manners in such a way, that the work appears as if all by the same hand.
She was a little comforted, and the expressed contrition helped her. "I shall be better soon," she said gently. When she got home to the apartment in Via Arco della Ciambella there were lies to be told about the lessons, the pupils, the hours.
If it was spoiled in September last, imagine what it must have been six months later, with six months of soldiers to spoil it! Henry knew their names, and presented them all to me; they clanked their heels together and made the most perfect of military salutes. The commanding officer in charge of Petit Val is Count Arco, a major of a Bavarian regiment.
