This evening, after their return from the City, Their Majesties had withdrawn to the new wing that had been refurbished for them; because they were very uncomfortable and bizarre, they displeased the Emperor, and the morning after that they moved back into the old wing, and because in this case mock was freely made of Tarocca, the director of building, and the Emperor himself could not conceal his disgust, the former even wanted to resign from his position and had written a note to the Empress in hac conformitate [to this effect]; however, the affair has been resolved, especially as the Empress herself was compelled to admit that she rather than Tarocca was to blame for the ill-chosen appointments.
