` I dinna ken , James , ' says I ; ` I doubt I daurna , for our folk are very particular , and baith my faither and my mother are terribly against onything like gaun about stravaigin on the Sundays . ' ` Oh , they need never ken where ye 're gaun , ' says he . ` Weel , I 'll try , ' says I , for by this time I had a sort o ' liking for James . ` Then , ' said he , ` I 'll be at the Penny Stane at four o'clock . ' ` Very weel , ' quoth I. And , although baith my faither and mother said to me , as I was gaun out -- ` Where are ye gaun , lassie ? ' -- ` Oh , no very far , ' said I ; and , at four o'clock , I met James at the Penny Stane . I shall never forget the grip that he gied my hand when he took it in his , and said -- ` Ye hae been as good as your word , Diana . '
