She was an up-and-coming sort, and that's my sort. It's up-and-comingness that has made the Kilo Hotel what it is. "'All right, sister, I says, 'this book is the famous "Wage of Sin."
"These people? Wake 'em up? What for? They're happy." "But they're so provincial. No, that isn't what I mean. They're oh, so sunk in the mud." "Look here, Carrie. You want to get over your city idea that because a man's pants aren't pressed, he's a fool. These farmers are mighty keen and up-and-coming." "I know! That's what hurts.
