Schwartzmeister had been entertained by the philosopher, and that they had paraded Archey Road arm-in-arm at a late hour. "Tubby sure he was," said Mr. Dooley. "Tubby sure he was. Right where ye're standin' at this moment, me dhrinkin' beer an' him callin' f'r hot Irish. 'Make it hot, he says. 'Make it hot, me frind; an' we'll make it hot f'r th' British between us, says Schwartzmeister.
In the hall the clock chimed a quarter to ten. The tone of its bell seemed to act as a spur to them both. "There's a young gentleman here," said Hutchins, suddenly turning. "I'll run and get him right away." As they speeded along the road which led to the bridge above the dam, Paul told what he had heard Archey in the front seat listening as well as he could.
They went into the next room the sitting room proper unusual for its big bay window, its built-in cupboards and bookshelves. Then came the bathroom and three bed-rooms, all in true bungalow style on one floor. When they had first entered, Mary and Archey had chatted freely enough, but gradually they had grown quieter.
'Well, says Willum J. O'Brien, 'that was my majority, he says. 'Have a dhrink, he says." The approach of Christmas is heralded in Archey Road by many of the signs that are known to the less civilized and more prosperous parts of the city. The people look poorer, colder, and more hopeful than at other times. The bakeries assume an old country appearance of gayety. The saloons are well filled.

As they watched, the boat tipped forward lurched vanished followed quickly by two cylindrical objects which, in the momentary glimpse they caught of them, had the appearance of steel barrels.

Once they smiled at each other, the boy blushing like a sunset. After that they sometimes spoke while Josiah was talking to the foreman. His name, she learned, was Archey Forbes, his father was the foreman, and when he grew up he was going to be a builder, too. But no matter how often they saw each other, Archey always blushed to the eyes whenever Mary smiled at him.
McKenna was about to make a jeering remark to the effect that the alleged piety of the Dooley family had not penetrated to the Archey Road representative, when a person, evidently of wayfaring habits, entered and asked for alms. Mr. Dooley arose, and, picking a half-dollar from the till, handed it to the visitor with great unconcern.
"It hasn't been all roses and lilies," she told them, "but that's us!" Meanwhile, as you will guess, it hadn't been "all roses and lilies" either, for the men who had gone on strike. "Didn't you say you expected trouble?" Mary asked Archey one morning just after the big strike was declared. "Yes," he told her. "They were talking that way.
She switched on the electric light and as though by magic a soft white radiance flooded the room. "Would they want to go back to candles?" she asked. Later, the thing which Mary always thought of first was the ease with which the change was accomplished. First of all she called in Archey Forbes and told him her plan.
