Mr. Taylor said it would be all right , and thanked Mr. Martin for his kindness . Janet remained up a little longer , listening to Tom and Ted telling over again just how they had carried pails of water to the top of the wooden slope , spilling down the sloping boards the liquid which swished its way like rapids in a river . And then came the tumble and fall of the boys . `` Boys , as long as you are going to have good times to-morrow I suggest that you go to bed now , '' said Mrs. Martin , when it was past nine o'clock . `` I want to get a glass of water first , '' said Ted , going toward the kitchen . `` You can get a drink up in the bathroom , '' his mother told him . `` I do n't want this to drink , '' Ted explained .
