A happy ending, of course, for Barnaby Rudge, with betrothals previously prevented now arranged.
Hugh and the hangman are hanged while the legs of the treacherous 'prentice, his greatest pride, are crushed irremediably.
Haredale declaims, "Let no man turn aside, ever so slightly, from the broad path of honor, on the plausible pretence that he is justified by the goodness of his end. All good ends can be worked out by good means. Those that cannot are bad; and may be counted so at once, and left alone."
Barnaby is rescued and the treacherous Miggs, attempting to resume her job at the Vardens', is cast out.
Interestingly, D found it good for Haredale to kill Sir John Chester in the penultimate chapter.
Rounding out the happy endings.
Except that Gordon, surely guilty, ought not to have been acquitted in his trial for High Treason.
