...think the cause of such a man's unpopularity is his disregard of the fact that there is a mean between servility and self-assertion. It is a tendency common in young men to take extremes.

I was filled with wonder and pity for the ignorance of the poor man ; and I confess I had visions of taking him to the top of Bunker Hill Monument that dark night, or over to South Boston. But as the car stopped, I was waked from my revery by Jack's whispering...
