George
One of Jerome's companions on the boating trip
Core Belief
"Order and efficiency are essential for a well-functioning life. While leisure and enjoyment are important, they should be pursued in a structured and responsible manner."
Worldview
George sees the world as a place that requires careful planning and organization. He values practicality and strives for control, though he often finds himself frustrated by the chaos and unpredictability of life.
Personality
George is generally sensible and level-headed, but also prone to laziness and sleeping at inopportune moments. He has moments of surprising wisdom and a dry wit, though he can also be somewhat pompous and easily irritated by Harris's antics. He fancies himself a musician but lacks talent.
In Their Own Words
"Rest and a complete change. The overstrain upon our brains has produced a general depression throughout the system. Change of scene, and absence of the necessity for thought, will restore the mental equilibrium."
"You know we are on a wrong track altogether. We must not think of the things we could do with, but only of the things that we can’t do without."
"Begin with breakfast. Now for breakfast we shall want a frying-pan... a tea-pot and a kettle, and a methylated spirit stove."
