It is all rather tasteless, and all rather touching, and the place with its meagre appointments, as compared with the rich Goethe house, suggests that personal competition with Goethe in which Schiller is always falling into the second place.

Also, sir, your present appointments as officers in the service run until the orders appointing you are revoked."
