 You are a bit of all right, old chap."- Who is the speaker? Who has been referred to as 'old chap'? What picture of the person's character here, spoken to, is revealed in this line? [1+1+3] [Annual Exam 2017]

Answer: 

The mirror  is the speaker.

Sir Mohan Lal has been referred to as ' old chap'

Sir Mohan Lal is speaking with the mirror at the waiting room. It is not the mirror, Sir Mohan actually talks with himself. He thinks that he looks attractive. He calls himself as distinguished, efficient and handsome. But he regards everything in India as inefficient, dirty and indifferent. The line indirectly explains the self-love of Sir Mohan. It reveals his hypocrisy. It also shows that he is proud.
