Orphaned and penniless but clever Becky Sharp leaves Miss Pinkerton's academy and is taken in by kindly former classmate Amelia Sedley and her wealthy family. She soon bewitches Amelia's lumpen brother Jos, an official in colonial India, whilst Amelia's betrothal to dashing soldier George Osborne is observed by his loyal friend William Dobbin. Jos leaves Becky, who reluctantly accepts a post as governess to the children of dissolute member of parliament Sir Pitt Crawley. Written by don @ minifie-1
