Young Henry was conscious, this night, that he had lived for fifteen tedious years without accomplishing any single thing of importance. And had his mother known his feeling she would have said,'He is growing.'And his father would have repeated after her,'Yes, the boy is growing.' But neither would have understood what the other meant.
