Page "Vanity Fair (novel)" Paragraph 31
from
Wikipedia
The best friend of George Osborne, William Dobbin is tall, ungainly, and not particularly handsome.
He is a few years older than George but has been friends with him since his school days even though Dobbin's father is a fig-merchant and the Osbornes belong to the genteel class and have become independently wealthy.
He defends George and is blind to his faults in many ways although he tries to force George to do the right thing.
He pushes George to keep his promise to marry Amelia even though Dobbin is in love with Amelia himself.
After George is killed, Dobbin puts together an annuity to help support Amelia, ostensibly with the help of George's fellow officers.
