- In The Song of the Lark, as Dr. Archie is reading A Distinguished Provincial in Paris, he explains to Thea that "A Frenchman undertook to write about a whole cityful of people, all the kinds he knew. And he got them nearly all in, I guess. Yes, it's very interesting. You'll like to read it some day, when you're grown up."
