Page "Vanity Fair (novel)" Paragraph 13

After the death of old Mr. Osborne, Amelia, Joseph, George and Dobbin go on a trip to Germany, where they encounter the destitute Becky.

She meets the young George at a card table and then enchants Jos Sedley all over again.

Becky has unfortunately deteriorated as a character.

She is drinking heavily, has lost her singing voice and much of her looks and spends time with card sharps and con artists.

The book suggests that Becky has been involved in activities even more shady than her usual con games, but does not go into details.
