From The Pale King:
"I felt like I'd ticked him off and sort of drove him away when I asked him if he'd be in here doing the intense tête-à-tête thing with me if I was fat and cross-eyes. Like that it ticked him off, or that he'd finally decided I was so cynical and suspicious of men only being interested in me because of the prettiness thing that he'd finally figured out that he wasn't going to be able to con me into thinking he actually cared enough that he'd get to boff me or even just feed his ego that here was this so-called beautiful girl that got into him and cared and wrote his name over and over in big loopy cursive in her diary or whatever his trip was."
