First appearance: Podsnappery
As a supporting figure in Our Mutual Friend, Georgiana Podsnap is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
The shy, miserable daughter who dreads social events and confides in Mrs.
Georgiana is an undersized, dejected damsel whose early views of life came from her father's boots and the dim drawing-rooms, and who seems to take frosty peeps out of childhood into womanhood before shrinking back. She is delighted and bewildered by the Lammles' flattery and by the prospect of being admired by young Fledgeby. Her innocence is the raw material of a social scheme, and her loneliness makes her both pitiable and vulnerable.
