Her grandfather provides her with a book and she immediately becomes alert. Her father returns home from the village with a jug of whiskey and later takes a drink on the quiet and then buries the jug. He is observed by the little girl and she duly makes a note of the fact in her book. She sees her sister kiss her sweetheart and a memorandum of the act is made. Matty, her brother, steals a pie, and Early follows. He refuses to share the pie with her and she seeks recourse in showing up the act in her diary, not omitting the fact that she was not given a bite of the luxury. Divers and sundry acts of members of the family are duly noted and there bids fair to be several scandals when the minister takes a hand in the proceedings and the diary of Early is consigned to the cavernous depths of the well.
