And they will--the New Yorkers; they love to give hands to big dollar men.

Beneath the burden runs a hysterically bitter ground-bass-a dirge for everything Puritan-and snarling discords to the effect that constipation was the pioneers' curse; that their children were rickety, their politics poltroonish, their women spavined, their teeth acid, their minds (including the author's) stunted and deranged, all because they failed to raise cabbages and take lime into their systems...
