Potts. Thank you, Mrs. Graham.

Roger. Dorothy, what is the best news you could wish for?

Dor. Your name cleared, and all happy once more.

Roger. Then it is yours. I am an accused man no longer.

Dor. Honor bright? How did you find it out?

Roger. Through that good friend of ours, Bijah Bright.

Dor. (goes to Bijah). Mr. Bright, I come to thank you once more. Polly, you can trust this man. He has proved loyal every time.

Polly. Thank you, Miss Dorothy. It's pleased I am to hear you say so.

Bijah. She has promised to marry me, and we invite you to Oldtown for the wedding.
