It was funny how people were people everywhere you went, even if the 
people concerned weren't the people the people who made up the phrase 
"people are people everywhere" had traditionally thought of as people. 
And even if you weren't virtuous, as you had been brought up to 
understand the term, you did like to see virtue in other people, 
provided it didn't cost you anything.
