Steerforth left Emily in the care of his servant, Littimer, because he was bored with her. Knowing he'd ruined her reputation, Steerforth even advised her to marry Littimer. None-the-less, he no longer cared what she did.

Miss Betsey trotwood is david copperfield's grear aunt on his father's side, & has an unfavourable view of men & boys. She appears in the 1st chapter where we see her uncommon personality & her dislike of boys when she storms out of the house after hearing that david's mother has had a son rather than a daughter to whom Trotwood intended to be the godmother.
