Excerpt from Out to Win
Somewhere between the ages of fifteen and twenty, and generally nearer to fifteen than to twenty, many boys go through a mental process which, if we left it to them to define, they would declare to be the period of their waking up. And if we further inquired from what and to What they were waking up, they, or at least some of them, would tell us that they were waking up from the silly bondage, the in fantine trammels of babyhood to the guh lorious freedom of manhood. To put it briefly, Bill Horton is waking up to his rights.
