Mr. Stoddart comes to visit Mr. Walton to apologize for his bad mood when he was sick. Mr. Walton says he knows it was just the illness that made him unsociable. He recommends that Mr. Stoddart try to make more friends of his neighbors now that he is well.
Mr. Stoddart returns to his old post at the church organ, so Ethelwyn no longer plays, but sits in her pew with her grandmother and niece.
