Who is George McClellan from Welcome to the Monkey House and what is their importance?

George is Grace's husband. He seems taciturn and a bit antisocial at first, but as the narrator gets to know him, he opens up a little. He is under financial pressure, and is constantly trying to dig out from under it. This is why Grace can't have her house, and, the narrator concludes, why George drinks a lot.

George displays a real love for Grace, though, in his looks toward her, his patience with her and his ultimate gift to her of a brand new home.
