`` The trouble is you just rush into things and do n't think them over at all . Mother says you 're all too impulsive , just as she used to be . The Good-Conduct Club would help you to think , if you were fair and honest about punishing yourselves when you broke the rules . You 'd have to punish in some way that really HURT , or it would n't do any good . '' `` Whip each other ? '' `` Not exactly . You 'd have to think up different ways of punishment to suit the person . You would n't punish each other -- you 'd punish YOURSELVES . I read all about such a club in a story-book . You try it and see how it works . '' `` Let 's , '' said Faith ; and when Jem was gone they agreed they would . `` If things are n't right we 've just got to make them right , '' said Faith , resolutely . `` We 've got to be fair and square , as Jem says , '' said Jerry . `` This is a club to bring ourselves up , seeing there 's nobody else to do it . There 's no use in having many rules . Let 's just have one and any of us that breaks it has got to be punished hard . '' `` But HOW . '' `` We 'll think that up as we go along . We 'll hold a session of the club here in the graveyard every night and talk over what we 've done through the day , and if we think we 've done anything that is n't right or that would disgrace dad the one that does it , or is responsible for it , must be punished . That 's the rule .
We 'll all decide on the kind of punishment -- it must be made XXXXX fit the crime , as Mr. Flagg says .
