Joe who is oldest is more restrained to what was happening to them. He knew that all they could do was move on however undesirable it may be.To me he seems to be high strung." The horses were almost like his won body to him. He felt he was done for now. Luckily he was engaged to a woman as old as himself, and therefore her father, who was steward of neighboring estate, would provide him with a job".
Fred Henry who is the second brother is more confident and believed that he controlled his life He was simply arrogant. " He was master of any horse, and he carried himself with a well-tempered air of mastery. But he was not master of situations of life."
The youngest brother is Malcolm who just seems to take everything in stride and seems easy going. He doesn't seem to mind that they have start all over.
Their sister Mabel seems very reserved and lonely compared to her brothers. She seems unhappy about the whole situation that she has no control over and feels powerless to stop it but is determined to do things her won way. " Mabel had no associates of her own sex, after her sister went away". She felt isolated and alone in a house full of men who did not seem to appreciate her.
Dr. Fergusson seems ambitious, intelligent and kind. He walks from house to house to help the sick people in the town. He risks his life to save Mabel when she tries to kill herself by walking into the pond.
In the end of the story we get to see that Mabel is not really as harsh it she seemed at first just lonely and in need of love in her life. The Doctor also soon realizes that it was what he needed along also.
