TOM JONES: BLACK GEORGE (SEAGRIM)

He's the impoverished gamekeeper of Squire Allworthy and,
later, of Squire Western. Tom Jones takes the blame for his
crimes, and helps him financially. Black George ungratefully
repays him by stealing the bank note Allworthy gave Tom on
banishing him. Black George offers to help Tom at the end of
the book, though, proving he has some loyalty.

TOM JONES: MOLLY SEAGRIM

Molly is Black George's wild daughter. She's also Tom Jones'
first lover. Tom believes, wrongly, that he is the father of
her child, then discovers that she has other lovers, including
Mr. Square.

TOM JONES: PARTRIDGE (LITTLE BENJAMIN)

Partridge is the schoolteacher wrongly thought to be Jenny
Jones' lover and Tom Jones' father. When his jealous wife dies,
he takes to the road. Years later, he runs into the banished
Tom and accompanies him, partly out of friendship and partly out
of hopes of regaining Allworthy's favor by reconciling the
Squire with Tom. Partridge is a nervous, amusing fellow, a
scholarly stand-up comic who gives his punch lines in Latin.
Faithful if sometimes bothersome, he's been compared to another
famous traveling companion of literature, Sancho Panza of the
great early-seventeenth-century Spanish novel, Don Quixote, by
Miguel de Cervantes.

TOM JONES: MRS. (HARRIET) FITZPATRICK

She flees with her cousin Sophia to London. She claims to be
fleeing her cruel Irish husband, Mr. Fitzpatrick, but she's
also running away for a romantic engagement with an Irish
nobleman. Her selfishness (she betrays Sophia to gain favor
with Western) contrasts with Sophia's nobility.

TOM JONES: MR. FITZPATRICK

Mrs. Fitzpatrick's husband, he has a violent temper and is
chasing his wife. He wrongly suspects Tom of having an affair
with his wife and challenges him to a duel, which results in
Tom's being thrown in prison.
