But Jerry , on whom the thing came like a thunderbolt , refused to be placated . So THIS was what some mysterious hints he had got in school that day meant ! He marched Faith and Una home without ceremony , and the Good-Conduct Club held an immediate session in the graveyard to sit in judgment on Faith 's case . `` I do n't see that it was any harm , '' said Faith defiantly . `` Not MUCH of my legs showed . It was n't WRONG and it did n't hurt anybody . '' `` It will hurt Dad . You KNOW it will . You know people blame him whenever we do anything queer . '' `` I did n't think of that , '' muttered Faith . `` That 's just the trouble . You did n't think and you SHOULD have thought . That 's what our Club is for -- to bring us up and MAKE us think . We promised we 'd always stop and think before doing things . You did n't and you 've got to be punished , Faith -- and real hard , too . You 'll wear those striped stockings to school for a week for punishment . '' `` Oh , Jerry , wo n't a day do -- two days ? Not a whole week ! '' `` Yes , a whole week , '' said inexorable Jerry . `` It is fair -- ask Jem Blythe if it is n't . ''
Faith felt she would rather submit then ask Jem XXXXX about such a matter .
