Who is Celia from London Transports and what is their importance? London_Transports English & Literature Celia | London Transports

A resident of Shepherd's Bush, Celia is the only person to whom the narrator can turn to put her up while undergoing an abortion. Normally brisk, moralistic, and judgmental, delivering lectures over tea, Celia surprises May by matter-of-factly arranging for her to see Dr. Harris. Celia looks thin and tired, having been on a diet, and loves dreary, boring Martin, who regularly goes home to visit his mother. She has a flat in a big Victorian house in a noisy neighborhood. The flat has no pictures, books, or souvenirs. It seems gloomy when empty. May finds Celia's life strange and empty. When May gets home from the nursing home she finds a note from Celia, which states that dinner will be at eight o'clock. May returns to Dublin thanking her in a note for her hospitality.
