George Aubrey-Beecham

George Aubrey-Beecham is the eldest son of Bellamy Aubrey-Beecham. He features in the Weekend at Grandfather's.

 As bellamy’s elder son, George is lined up to take over the family’s lands and businesses. George has generally been a dependable and dutiful child, and his ability to keep a clear head has served him well in his forays into the management of the family businesses. He is politically a Liberal, and an admirer of the late Earl Grey.

 In the last year, he has spent much time with Adelaide Cautley. Charmed and astonished by her easy colonial manners, and her tales of Indian life and upbringing, he has recently become engaged to her. Adelaide’s tales of the colour and life of India, (as well as the stories he has heard of her father ’s youthful exploits) have given him a sense of a wider world which makes his father’s preoccupations with the trappings of an aristocratic life and the opinion of his neighbours look unbearably petty and provincial, and he has found himself with a new sense of possibility, of which Adelaide is both the spark and the symbol.



However, the idea that he might run off to the colonies in search of adventure goes against the habits of a lifetime, and if any his family and acquaintances have entertained the idea, they have laughingly dismissed it.
