Based on the excerpt below, how are Hal, Charles, and Mercedes characterized?
“They were slack in all things, without order or discipline. It took them half the night to pitch a slovenly camp, and half the morning to break that camp and get the sled loaded in fashion so slovenly that for the rest of the day they were occupied in stopping and rearranging the load. Some days they did not make ten miles. Others they were unable to get started at all. And they were proud, too, and considered that they knew what they were about, more especially the girl. She was Charles’s wife and Hal’s sister—a nice family party.”
