When she had bidden the others good night and mounted to her room, however, she did something she had never done before. She unlatched her door again softly and tiptoed out to the landing at the top of the stairs, to listen. Marty had suddenly come to life. She heard his voice, low and tense, dominating the other voices in the kitchen.
"Sugar-coated pills?" laughed Janice. "Yes. The old system of pounding knowledge into the infant cranium isn't in vogue any more."

There is such a lot to learn in the world!"
He rattled the dampers, opened them, and then, with a side glance at his cousin, pulled the paper from within the breast of his jacket and thrust it in upon the black coals before he closed the stove door. "Where's the New York paper, Marty?" Janice was asking, as she arranged the Montpelier and the Albany papers on their files. "Didn't come," grunted Marty, and picked up the empty coal hod.
As Marty started the pump a boy ran into the yard and up the steps. "Hullo, Jimmy Gallagher, what you want?" demanded Marty. "I'm after Janice Day. Got a note for her," said the urchin.

He still had that scheme in his head, and he might perhaps be better prepared to discuss it with the priest if he could first make this friend of the O'Hara family understand how much he, Neville, was personally injured by this "turning up" of a disreputable father.
Well, what do you say if I turn fashionable for once and come down for the week-end not this week, but next?" No need to ask Marty a question like that. "Come on down. Make it Friday and I'll show you the sights. We've got something doing at the Ellis Church, something I want you to see." Then Marty thought of a few books that he had left at home "And hello, J.W., are you listening?
See how Walky Dexter was to-night." "Yep." "Everything that's gone wrong lately is the fault of Lem Parraday's bar." "Huh! I wonder?" questioned Marty.
