HARRIS -

-a practical young man, who could not appreciate romanticism in the world around him.
-fond of drinking and eating; not too fond of working hard.
-not much imagination and was more aggressive than the other two.
-had a strange fascination for cemeteries and tombs
-not much aesthetic sense and dressed in loud colours like orange and yellow, which did not suit him.
-a terrible singer and could never remember the words to a song.
-thought he could cook well, but as the incident with the eggs showed, he was not a good cook either.
-frank and outspoken young man, which was evident when he ensured that George did not play his Banjo within his hearing.

GEORGE-

-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 labour.
-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.
