After striking the deal Davie has to help Alan escape to France. He also desires to clear the name of James Stewart, but to do so would risk having himself caught and blamed, and possibly hanged. However Davie decides to take the risk. Rankeillor gives him two letters to help him. Davie also plans to give some money to Alan so that he can buy passage to France. Alan arranges for a lawyer to get the money from Davie and give it to him. The two walk away from the House of Shaws, then part.
As he continues on, Davie goes to Edinburgh and, as the book ends, comes to the doors of the British Linen Company.
P.S I hate when books leave the ending open!
