In the fourth painting of William Hogarth's series A Rake's Progress, Tom narrowly escapes arrest for debt as he travels in a sedan chair to a party at St. James's Palace to celebrate Queen Caroline's birthday (Saint David's Day). On this occasion he is saved by the intervention of Sarah Young, the girl he had earlier rejected.
