I've seen the Mapp & Lucia TV series, so have an idea of Quaint Irene, et als. To the extent Hyacinth has a "nemesis" (at least in her own mind), Mapp would be Mrs. Barker-Finch?

I take your point about Georgie's loyalty, but yes, there are the Emmet elements also. The music, for one, and then I suspect that poor Emmet is closeted much as Georgie was. I know he's divorced, but that's more proof than counter-prooof.
As for Mrs. B-F, I think we have to remember that Lucia tends to best Mapp in their confrontations. I'm not sure Mapp has an exact corollary. Perhaps Quaint Irene is Onslow, however?
