He doesn't see his attack as personal but one against the perceived corruption of the Church of England whose members live in luxury while the poor starve. In the end he agrees to stop the court action and so informs Archdeacon Grantly, Septimus Harding's son-in-law. Eleanor and John also agree to be married. It's not all that simple for Septimus Harding however. He is greatly disturbed by the accusations made against him and travels to London to speak to the Church's solicitor, Sir Abraham Haphazard. Although the suit has been dropped, he asks his legal counsel if it is also a moral victory. When Haphazard says he is unable to speak to morality, Septimus decides to resign as Warden.
