Had she been forbidden to see her son?
Her wish to do so had been frustrated by telling her of different places where she might see him, but when she went to the places he was not there.
Had her son been taken from her by the police?
She had herself taken him to the police at 4 o’clock.
How did she learn of the plan to send her son out of the country?
Giannatasio had disclosed the project to the police.
Did she consider that her son had been well treated at his uncle’s?
She thought it unsuitable for the reasons given in her former application. She wished to say in particular that v. Beethoven had only one servant and that one could not rely on servants; he was deaf and could not converse with his ward; there was nobody to look after the wants of her son satisfactorily; his cleanliness was neglected and supervision of his clothing and washing; persons who had brought him clean linen had been turned back by his guardian.
What prospects had she for caring for her son?
She had previously had the assurance of Count von Dietrichstein that her son would be accepted at the Convict; she had not been to him since because her application [to the Court] had been rejected.
