In 1594, the astronomical chair at Gratz, in Styria, fell vacant by the death of George Stadt, and, according to Kepler's own statement, he was forced to accept this situation by the authority of his professional tutors, who recommended him to the nobles of Styria.
"He who has been confined as a prisoner in the Stadt House, is not fit to exercise his duties there as a judge; I have served your Majesty many years with the utmost zeal and fidelity.
But I was obliged to deliver my despatches first," replied Vanslyperken. "But I thought you always took your despatches to the Stadt House?" "Well, so I do, Babette; I have just come from thence." This was enough for Babette; it proved that his visit to the syndic's was intended to be concealed! she was too prudent to let him know that she had traced him. "Why, Mr Vanslyperken, you look very ill.
It has appeared very strange to some very able judges of voyages, that the Dutch should make so great account of the southern countries as to cause the map of them to be laid down in the pavement of the Stadt House at Amsterdam, and yet publish no descriptions of them.
"Hark, what is that?" was a universal exclamation from the few folk, mostly women, standing in front of Mr. Weil's house, as a curious hoarse cheer arose not in the stadt, half a mile away, but nearer, close by, only the other side of the station, where was situated the B.S.A.P. fort, the headquarters of the officer commanding the Protectorate Regiment.

Fortunately they decided upon the latter: they surrounded the Stadt House with cries of "Long life to our worthy syndic prosperity to Mynheer Krause," and rushing up-stairs, they caught him in their arms, and carried him triumphantly through the streets, bringing him at last to the smoking ruins of his own house, and there they left him; they had done all they could, they had carried him there in triumph, but, as for building the house up again, that was impossible so, as Mynheer Krause looked with dismay at the wreck of all his property, the loyal mob dispersed, each feeling that he had been a little too hasty in possessing himself of a small share of it.

I remember Schiller said somewhere: Gefaehrlich ist's den Leu zu wecken Und schrecklich ist des Tigers Zahn, Doch das schrecklichste der Schrecken Das ist der Mensch in seinem Wahn!

It was a tiny town then; picturesque, too, for the houses were low, irregular, with sloping roofs and gable ends to the street.
