In Russell Square lived Amelia's father, John Sedley, Esq., of the Stock Exchange, while the Osbornes resided in the same square at No. 96, opposite.

Sir Pitt Crawley dwelt in Great Gaunt Street, near Gaunt (Manchester) Square, whose lease and furniture the unfortunate Raggles bought, "a snug and complete bachelor's residence, lately the residence of the Honourable Frederick Deuceacre, gone abroad."

Colonel Rawdon Crawley and his wife Becky we find at 201, Curzon Street, Mayfair, a very small comfortable house where they lived on credit and entertained the Marquis of Steyne, etc.
