Excerpt from Half Married: Agamé Gamé

General Lansing was a "West Pointer" of the old school. Tall, straight, rigidly genial, he never omitted a military duty, never shirked a social obligation, and never, where health and civilization permitted, failed to attend service once on Sunday.

Having been born and bred among soldiers, his whole life was made up of what he considered duties, and from the time he was a cadet he would as soon have slept on watch as have left unreturned a "first call" longer than the conventional three days.

He was as careful about small duties as great ones, and, of course, this trait in his character made him a strict disciplinarian.
