`` There are so many I would like to make , '' said Cecily , `` that I 'm afraid it would n't be any use trying to keep them all . '' `` Well , let 's all make a few , just for the fun of it , and see if we can keep them , '' I said . `` And let 's get paper and ink and write them out . That will make them seem more solemn and binding . '' `` And then pin them up on our bedroom walls , where we 'll see them every day , '' suggested the Story Girl , `` and every time we break a resolution we must put a cross opposite it . That will show us what progress we are making , as well as make us ashamed if we have too many crosses . '' `` And let 's have a Roll of Honour in Our Magazine , '' suggested Felix , `` and every month we 'll publish the names of those who keep their resolutions perfect . '' `` I think it 's all nonsense , '' said Felicity . But she joined our circle around the table , though she sat for a long time with a blank sheet before her . `` Let 's each make a resolution in turn , '' I said . `` I 'll lead off . '' And , recalling with shame certain unpleasant differences of opinion I had lately had with Felicity , I wrote down in my best hand , `` I shall try to keep my temper always . '' `` You 'd better , '' said Felicity tactfully . It was Dan 's turn next . `` I ca n't think of anything to start with , '' he said , gnawing his penholder fiercely . `` You might make a resolution not to eat poison berries , '' suggested Felicity . `` You 'd better make one not to nag people everlastingly , '' retorted Dan . `` Oh , do n't quarrel the last night of the old year , '' implored Cecily . `` You might resolve not to quarrel any time , '' suggested Sara Ray . `` No , sir , '' said Dan emphatically .
`` There 's no use making a XXXXX you CA N'T keep .
