  Through "noting" (meaning gossip, rumour, overhearing; sounding like "nothing"), Benedick and Beatrice are tricked into confessing their love for each other; and Claudio into believing Hero no maiden (he rejects her, therefore, at the altar). The latter is set right (somewhat inadvertently); the former blossoms; and marriages are agreed.
