"Never to tell anyone what I told thee over yonder beyond the Cribserth.
"Well, then, I suppose there is nothing else to be said, and I must live without thee; but 'twill be hard, very hard, lass. I thought I thought but there; what's the use of thinking? I suppose I must say 'Good-bye. Wilt give me one kiss before we part? No? Well, indeed, an unwilling kiss from Morva would kill me, so fforwel, lass! At least shake hands."
Morva turned towards him, placing her hand in his, and by the bright moonlight he saw her face was very pale. "Fforwel!" he said once more, and dropping her hand, he left her suddenly, standing alone under the night sky. She looked after him until he had passed round the Cribserth, and then turned homewards with a heavier heart than she had ever borne before.
