With the powerful, ruthless Lady Bellaston at its helm, Book XIII ushers in the city scene with all its accessories: the extravagant masquerade, and the financial and sexual temptations of Lady Bellaston. Book XIII works to introduce the reader to Lady Bellaston who, at this stage, appears daunting but not malicious. It also introduces the important characters of Mrs. Miller and Nightingale, who are to become Jones's closest friends in London, and his most loyal supporters. These characters appreciate Jones's goodness, which is immediately apparent to them—Jones wins Mrs. Miller's eternal devotion by offering the fifty pounds he has received from Lady Bellaston to her beleaguered cousin. This scenario indicates that Jones consistently thinks of others, in spite of his own troubles. Nightingale is a lovable city character—he and Mrs. Miller are London people who are able to act selflessly and show true concern for others. Lady Bellaston and Mrs. Fitzpatrick, on the other hand, act merely out of selfishness. For example, Mrs. Fitzpatrick, wishing to ingratiate herself with her aunt and uncle, is quite happy to connive against her cousin Sophia. Interestingly, the narrator does not transcribe much of the dialogue between the "upper-class" characters—in Chapter IV he states that he will omit the conversation on account of its being "too dainty for Vulgar ears." The reader realizes, however, that the narrator simply thinks that it is too boring and uninteresting to relate. The narrator increases the weight of the intrigue by showering the reader with a plethora of new names and characters. He calls Lady Bellaston's maid Abigail, the name he used for Mrs. Honour at Upton, and he calls Mr. Anderson's children Tom and Molly, a technique of recycling similar names that deepens the mystery. He also introduces gives his hero hints of the supernatural in the eyes of others—Lady Bellaston, before she has even met Tom, thinks of him as a "Miracle of Nature" and Mrs. Miller, knowing Tom well, calls him her "good Angel."
