A Short Chapter, Which Concludes the Book

• The Nightingales are gone for a noticeably long time.
• And the rest of the party can hear occasional shouts.
• Mrs. Miller and Nancy both suspect that something is going on with the Nightingales.
• But the Nightingales are so caught up in pretending nothing is wrong that they don't notice their suspicion.
• Bro Nightingale takes Mr. Nightingale off with him.
• But before leaving, Mr. Nightingale whispers to Nancy that he'll see her the next morning.
• Tom recognizes that Mr. Nightingale has probably told his uncle everything.
• Before Tom can stop Mr. Nightingale to ask him what's wrong, a maid arrives to say he has a visitor.
• It's Mrs. Honour, and she has terrible news about Sophia.
• Once Tom hears this news, he can't think of anything else.
