talked of exploits and masters of glory in store. But soon the
famines set in. The treachery of the elements ravished the hopes
of agriculturists, the major portion of the supporters of the ----

latter times; dinner-hours grew few and far between; and with the
Sun of Loaf sank all wakefulness to light and culture."
This last feature sounds a little like Berlin.
