Rainbow Valley Chapter 23 - The Good-Conduct Club

In which a gentle spring evening finds the manse children gathered in the graveyard, their careless escapades stirred into concern by a plain-spoken friend who warns them of the reputational consequences their pranks may bring upon their family. Moved by earnest counsel and the desire to shield their father, they resolve to form a Good-Conduct Club, promising to watch over their own behaviour with a seriousness that softly unsettles yet binds them closer together.
