I consider the GA to be a person who is continually trying to live up to her own perception of how things should be.
To this end, she is actually a bit frightened underneath, as Dot mused when they were bringing her back to Beckfoot in "Scarab"
That fright made her unable to relax, as a more self-confident person would be able to.
Maybe as some have surmised, the Turner family had once been quite wealthy, but someone (the GA's father ?) had lost quite a bit of the family silver (South Sea Bubble anyone ?) and the GA tried valiantly to live up to the standards which had been experienced previously.
