Jones returns to Mrs. Miller's house to find everyone rejoicing. Nightingale and Nancy are to be married the next day. Mrs. Miller calls Tom her good Angel. Nightingale's uncle arrives and, in private, congratulates his nephew on his recent marriage. Nightingale admits that he is not actually yet married, and his uncle rejoices at this news. He advises Nightingale to leave Nancy, since he does not have any formal obligations to her until the matrimony. Nightingale tells his uncle that honor demands that one carry through one's promises as well as one's actions. Moreover, he loves Nancy. He reminds his uncle that he always promised to let his daughter, Harriet, choose her own marriage partner. Nightingale's uncle tells Nightingale to accompany him to his lodging so that they can debate the matter more.
