Think, Boys. Think. [The Music Man, Marian Paroo/Harold Hill]

i. Marian would have to be beyond naïve to say she can’t believe how easily everyone is taken in by “Professor” Harold Hill: when the man spreads his words he does it so each person thinks they came up with it independently, so it all seems reasonable.

ii. He’s never stuck around to see what happens to a town after he’s taken what he can, but the curtains in the librarian’s window are blue, like smoke, and somehow that’s all to get his foot stuck in the door.

iii. The music is objectively terrible, but it’s music, and one by one parents cheer for their boys while Marian grins; she knew all along it was a band.
