Virtue is rewarded; A booth in Vanity Fair
William Makepeace Thackeray
Wood engraving
c.1861
Illustration for Chapter 67, Thackeray's Vanity Fair:
Becky "is always having stalls at Fancy Fairs for the benefit of hapless beings. Emmy, her children, and the Colonel, coming to London some time back, found themselves suddenly before her at on of these fairs. [Becky] cast her eyes down demurely and smiled as they started away from her."
