    Miss Edmunds and Jess go first to the National Gallery, and then to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. 

    Jess, who has never before been to Washington, is thrilled to recognize many landmarks on the way there, including "the Lee Mansion high on the hill...the White House and the Monument and...the Capitol".  Entering the Gallery itself, Jess is awed by the "huge vaulted marble" foyer, with "the cool splash of the fountains and the green growing all around", and when he sees the pictures, "room after room, floor after floor", he becomes "drunk with color and form and hugeness...and the voice and perfume of Miss Edmunds always beside him".  Miss Edmunds treats Jess to lunch at the Gallery cafeteria, and then the two of them go to the Smithsonian "to see the dinosaurs and the Indians" (Chapter 10).
