"After getting me to promise to go wi' her!" he said to himself at once.
But Grizel came; she was only late because it had taken her such a long time to say good-by to the girl in the glass.

She was wearing her black dress and lustre jacket, and carried in a bundle the few treasures she was taking with her, and though she did not ask Tommy if he was coming, she cast a quick look round to see if he had a bundle anywhere, and he had none.

That told her his decision, and she would have liked to sit down for a minute and cry, but of course she had too much pride, and she bade him farewell so promptly that he thought he had a grievance.

"I'm coming as far as the toll-house wi' you," he said, sulkily, and so they started together.
At the toll-house Grizel stopped.

"It's a fine night," said Tommy, almost apologetically, "I'll go as far as the quarry o' Benshee." When they came to the quarry he said, "We're no half-roads yet, I'll go wi' you as far as Padanarum." Now she began to wonder and to glance at him sideways, which made him more uncomfortable than ever.
