Answer:

  • mar = spoil
  • procure = obtain

The verb "mar" means to damage or to spoil something. It refers to something that is made less attractive or enjoyable. In this case, the fact that the child was behaving badly ruined the quiet dinner for the guests. On the other hand, to "procure" means to obtain something. This usually implies that the thing was obtained through a lot of effort and persistence.
