" I couldn't help thinking of Benson, the cockeyed driller down on the Atchafalaya, who said someday I'd work my way up to derrick man. He and Brannigan came out of the same pod. Both had the terrible conceit of little men who through fortune or persistence had landed in positions where there were even littler men for them to boss around. I'm sure it never occurred to either of them that they were stupid. "
