Caddy Jellyby
Prince Turveydrop is a dance teacher, the son of Mr. Turveydrop, and the husband of Caddy Jellyby. Prince is a sweet, earnest, and hard-working young man who goes out of his way to make sure that his father, who has pretensions of being an aristocrat even though he is not of noble birth, is able to live a lavish lifestyle. Prince is dedicated to his father and is completely convinced that his father is extremely important in the London social scene and in fashionable circles. Prince is a loving and naïve son, as he never questions why he and his wife have to work so hard to sustain his father’s lavish and leisurely lifestyle.

Mrs Pardiggle being as clear that the only one infallible course was her course of pouncing upon the poor, and applying benevolence to them like a strait-waistcoat; as Miss Wisk was that the only practical thing for the world was the emancipation of Woman from the thraldom of her Tyrant, Man. Mrs Jellyby, all the while, sat smiling at the limited vision that could see anything but Borrioboola-Gha.
