I concealed my feelings, though disappointed in him, and lost no time in placing myself [in sanctuary] within the church of the Theatines. Thence I sent information to Dom Rodrigo da Costa, who at the time was in command of the fleet, and on hearing from me he went to see the viceroy, Count Francisco de Tavora. The latter was annoyed with the chief physician [196] for wishing, in that dangerous time, to interfere with me.

I was let alone and in freedom.
