He considered Captain Hill. A good man, but a tired one. Nearing fifty yars of age, without influence and probably withut anything spectacular in his record, he would be shunted from post to post now, with no hope of promotion. A good man lot in the shuffle. He would be nearing retirement, a patient man who did his duty from day to day, just one of the man who help to make the whole machine work.
(from Callaghen, by Louis L'Amour)
