From High Country by Nevada Barr:
"Lorraine Knight had told her how the local public school, some forty-five miles away, had held a children’s symposium on the nation’s parks, asking the children what they would do with Yosemite Valley. The park’s rangers sat back complacently waiting for their enlightened offspring to lead the way. The consensus of the kids from Yosemite was that a Costco and an orthodontist should be added to the village’s repertoire. The three-hour round-trip drive to these necessities was a very real burden to them. ... now, at least temporarily, a resident, [Anna] was sympathetic with the children; she was glad she didn’t have to drive eighty miles every time she ran out of shampoo.
Civilization was comfortable."
And The Hollow by Agatha Christie:
"“Does one really care about being comfortable?” David asked scornfully.
“There are times,” said Midge, “when I feel I don’t care about anything else.”
“The pampered attitude to life,” said David. “If you were a worker—”
Midge interrupted him. “I am a worker. That’s just why being comfortable is so attractive. Box beds, down pillows—early-morning tea softly deposited beside the bed—a porcelain bath with lashings of hot water—and delicious bath salts. The kind of easy chair you really sink into….” Midge paused in her catalogue.
“The workers,” said David, “should have all these things.”
But he was a little doubtful about the softly deposited early-morning tea, which sounded impossibly sybaritic for an earnestly organized world."
