Georgy Osborne
Son of George Osborne and Amelia Sedley Osborne, little Georgy is orphaned before he is born. Brought up to believe he is the most important creature on earth, he gravitates to the values of Vanity Fair. But for William Dobbin, he might have remained entirely selfish. Popular, intelligent, lovable, Georgy inherits half the Osborne fortune and, at the end of the book, appears to be a better man than either his father or grandfather.
Rawdy Crawley
Son of Rawdon Crawley and Rebecca Sharp Crawley, little Rawdy is his father's treasure, the bane of his mother, who hates him. He goes away to school as the protégé of his mother's "protector," Lord Steyne. After the separation of his parents, he spends his leisure time with his aunt, Lady Jane. After the death of his cousin and his uncle, he inherits Queen's Crawley. Although he does not see his mother, he provides for her. The reader believes that Rawdon, like George, is a better man than his father or grandfather.
Mrs. Blenkinsop
Two characters have this name. One is the Sedley's housekeeper and confidante of Amelia. Having lived so long with the Sedleys, she stays with them in their poverty, tends them, and grumbles about them.
The other Mrs. Blenkinsop is a banker's wife who cuts Rebecca.
Mr. Clapp
Mr. Clapp has been Sedley's clerk for years. He takes the Sedleys into his home after their financial failure.
Mrs. Clapp
Mrs. Clapp (of Vanity Fair) gives Amelia a hard time over rents; but after Amelia has money, Mrs. Clapp fawns on her.
