Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley, accompanied by Jos Sedley, depart Miss Pinkerton's Academy for Young Ladies in Chiswick Mall. They soon arrive at the Sedley home in Russell Square, then a desirable location in London. Thackeray's accompanying illustration, "Rebecca's Farewell," is one of the most famous in Vanity Fair (1847-48).  It shows Becky flinging the Johnson's Dictionary, a parting gift from Miss Jemima Pinkerton, as she leaves Chiswick Mall behind her.
