Orrin was a man easy to notice and easy to remember. He never made it a point to be nice to folks - he just was. It was him. He was polite to everyone, a man folks talked to mighty easy, a man with a pleasant way about him, who would sooner avoid trouble than have it. He could put you off guard and turn a conversation from trouble into casual talk better than anybody I ever knew.
(from Treasure Mountain, by Louis L'Amour)
