They should have said it now, but first Tommy walked back a little bit of the way with Elspeth, and then she came back with him, and that was to be the last time, but he could not leave her, and so, there they were in the wood, looking woefully at each other, and it was not said yet.
They had said it now, and all was over; they were several paces apart.
Elspeth smiled, she had promised to smile because Tommy said it would kill him if she was greeting at the very end.

But what a smile it was! Tommy whistled, he had promised to whistle to show that he was happy as long as Elspeth could smile.

She stood still, but he went on, turning round every few yards to--to whistle.

"Never forget, day nor night, what I said to you," he called to her.

"You're the only one I love, and I care not a hair for Grizel." But when he disappeared, shouting to her, "I'll find a wy, I'll find a wy," she screamed and ran after him.
