For example, he complained to his nephew about “you, and my contemptible brother, and the detestable family that I am  (32)  with.” Besides, 1825 even saw Beethoven  (33)  by police for he was taken to be a vagrant due to his shabby appearance.  (34)  still, Beethoven's doctor ordered him to move to the countryside and shy from drinking wine and eating his favorite food, since the composer developed a serious intestinal illness. This trip away, unlike the previous ones, was far less enjoyable because Beethoven feared  (35)  his life.
