He sleeps the first night in a hayfield.

He can't stop thinking about Elizabeth-Jane, and instead of walking still further away from Casterbridge, he starts walking in an orbit around the town.

Meanwhile, back in Casterbridge, Elizabeth-Jane and Farfrae are celebrating their wedding.
Everyone is dancing, Newson just as exuberantly as any of the young folks.
