The "Micawber Principle" may apply.

Although the charachter of Wilkins Micawber doesn't fit Cox very well, other than he is English, in many ways I feel like Emma.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkins_Micawber

"The character of Wilkins Micawber has given rise to the English noun "Micawber" and the adjective "Micawberish". The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a Micawber as "one who is poor but lives in optimistic expectation of better fortune"[1]."
