The interior Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation on a plane polygonal region $\Omega$ with boundary $\Gamma$ may be reformulated as a second kind integral equation on $\Gamma$. This equation may be solved by the Nyström method using the composite trapezoidal rule. It is known that if the mesh has $O(n)$ points and is graded appropriately, then $O(1/n^2)$ convergence is obtained for the solution of the integral equation and the associated solution to the Dirichlet problem at any $x\in \Omega$. We present a simple extrapolation scheme which increases these rates of convergence to $O(1/n^4)$ .
