Translation examples
You have allowed yourself exaggeration and grotesque licence in your performance, and, in particular, you have exposed your mother in a ridiculous light, through your description of her lying there in her chair, pathetically dirtied and half unconscious while old Radicule had to come to her assistance with shovel and ash bucket. I know nothing of any ash bucket — it is the product of your zeal to be entertaining. But as this has borne such pleasant fruits in the end, it doesn't greatly matter that you have rather arbitrarily detracted somewhat from my personal dignity.
Du hast Dir arge Übertreibungen und groteske Lizenzen zuschulden kommen lassen bei Deiner Produktion und besonders Deine Mutter einem recht lächerlichen Lichte ausgesetzt durch die Schilderung, wie sie kläglich verunreinigt und halb ohnmächtig im Sessel liegt und der alte Radicule ihr mit Schaufel und Ascheneimer zu Hilfe kommen muß.
