GEORGE : George was the quietest person of all. In my opinion, he is an well educated person as he tries to solve the problem and he also speaks in medical terminology and he was the most sensible man among the three of them. He is cool and never panics under stress. He took the lead throughout the story. He is brave but on the other hand wants to be in safe side and be careful. The health problem he was suffering was that he was overweight.
george is the best person as he is very hepful and-
employed at a bank, where the only work his friends thought he did was sleep
had some knowledge of the ways of the world and was the one to give sensible advice and suggestions, such as the articles that should be taken along on the trip, the clothes, food, etc.
calmer and less aggressive than Harris.
did not appear to have much sense of style, however, as evident from the loud blazer he had bought for the trip.
did not like spending much thought on trivial matters as he remarked that ‘if anything was broken, it was broken.’
last one to offer to do anything that required physical labor.
not very quick-witted and depended on the others to lead him. He loved laughing at others but did not enjoy it much when the joke turned on him.
keen to learn to play the Banjo, but he played quite badly and even turned a cheerful song into a mournful tune
some knowledge of cooking, as can be seen by the fact that he made a healthy Irish Stew.
HARRIS: Harris is a carefree man who has a fondness for drinking. He behaves in a weird manner after drinking too much but has no clue about it the next day.
Harris is a man who is overconfident about almost everything. However, he eventually turns out to be a failure with the things he considers himself to be expert at. Harris account of his visit to the Hampton court maze serves as one of the most humorous one in the book. He claims to be a very good cook but eventually messes up the dish and even burns himself. Harris loves music and believes that he is very good at singing comic songs. But the fact is that he messes them up as he forgets the lyrics and confuses the pianist. However, in their discussions on whether to camp out or not, it is Harris who makes a sensible point by counting the difficulties one would face while camping on rainy and stormy nights. According to him, one faces several difficulties as the things that one carries get damp.
Like J, Harris too has an unusual attitude towards work. He has the tendency of taking the burden of the work on his shoulders and then passing the buck to other people. Unlike J, Harris takes delight in graves, tombs and monumental inscriptions. He goes m-ad to see the Mrs. Thomass tomb. He even mentions that he has come for the trip so that he could get to see Mrs. Thomas
MONTORENCY :Montmorency is the dog that accompanied the three men in their river trip.
Montmorency looked like an angel sent to Earth in the form of a small Fox Terrier. He had a gentle noble expression, which brought tears to the eyes of elderly folk. When Montmorency first arrived, the author thought that he would not live long. But, he soon changed his opinion about Montmorency when his true nature was exposed. The author had to pay for chickens Montmorency had killed and had to drag him out of umpty street fights. Once Montmorency killed the neighbor’s cat and on one occassion he had kept a man stuck in his own toolshed for about two hours. The author’s gardener made money by betting on Montmorency’s rat-killing skills. He liked to roam around and fight with dogs of a similar disreputable nature. Therefore, he enjoyed places like inns and pubs.
