Das besorgte schon der Vater, der immer guter Dinge war, wenn auch oft recht barsch und aufbrausend.« Vom Vater erzählte Ludwig übrigens nicht viel; es lag wie ein Schatten in seinem Gemüt, daß der Vater oft betrunken war und daß die Kinder dann häßliche Szenen mit ansehen mußten.

That was taken care of by his father, who was always in good spirits, even if often quite gruff and quick-tempered." Ludwig didn't say much about his father, by the way; it hung like a shadow in his mind that his father was often drunk and that the children then had to witness ugly scenes.
