And yet Berlin and Innsbruck were just as hungry as Vienna.

_C'est une ville sans ame._ My visitor compared the Viennese to a pretty, gay, and frivolous woman, whose aim in life is pleasure and only pleasure.

She must dance, sing, and enjoy life, and will do so under any circumstances--_sans ame_.
This pleasure-loving good nature of the Viennese has its admirable points.

For instance, all enemy aliens were better treated in Vienna than anywhere else.

Not the slightest trace of enmity was shown to those who were the first to attack and then starve the city.
Stronger than anything else in Vienna was the desire for sensation, pleasure, and a gay life.
