5: After Waterloo
In which many machinations and family suspicions are stirred up by the question: to whom will Miss Crawley leave her money? A lonely old man visits the battlefield of Waterloo. We learn how a gentleman may live on nothing a year; and our new young citizens of Vanity Fair learn to distinguish between Mayfair and the less salubrious parts of the city. With Hilda Schroder as Mrs Sedley Richard Hurndall as Mr Sedley and Samuel West and Simon Richmond as the two new young citizens of Vanity Fair Directed by David Spenser
