Summary
Then to the bedroom -- and Wolfgang turned to him (with an empty-headed smile) and said: "Well? We're here." And he laughed! The creature laughed, and Salieri felt himself filling up with irritation.
"I realize," Salieri said, "you might be --"
"Nervous? No, I'm not nervous," Wolfgang said, and from a quick glance at his face, Salieri could see he was telling the truth -- not a hint of nervousness anywhere. No, it was his nerves that were acting up. Wolfgang was smiling, all stupid, as if he were waiting for someone to reveal that a practical joke had been played on him, and took a seat on the bed. Salieri wondered what he was feeling, if not nervousness, and suddenly it occurred to him -- he wasn't amused, was he? As if this were funny to him? And what a situation to be in! One giggling fool perched on the wedding bed, and another fool wondering what to do next. This was out of his purview.
--
Salieri does the only thing a sensible man could do in his position -- he arranges a marriage with Mozart without his knowledge. Snapshots of their life together.

Summary
God is now the enemy of Antonio Salieri.
If the Creator would betray him and bestow the musical talent that Salieri deserved on that vile boy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, then Salieri would commit a betrayal in return. He would seek the pleasures he had long denied himself. He would visit the establishment of which no one spoke, except in hints and whispers.
