...would feel silly to allow myself to be annoyed by the mutterings of a dolt like this, except for the fact that he reflects an odious and rather ill-deserved light on Germans in general (of whom I am not one).

Florid, artificial, repetitious, it is incredibly dull and sloppy work to come from an author of Mr. Bromfield's well-earned reputation...
