Question and answer of Karma (Class xi of wbchse)

Question: '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?

['তোমার সব কিছুই ঠিকঠাক বুড়ো খোকা' -- বক্তা কে? বুড়ো খোকা বলতে এখানে কার উল্লেখ করা হয়েছে? যে ব্যাক্তির কথা এখানে বলা হয়েছে তার চরিত্রের কোন চিত্র এই লাইনে প্রকাশিত হয়েছে?]

Or, 

Sketch the character of Sir Mohan Lal. [স্যার মোহনলাল এর চরিত্র অঙ্কন কর।]

Ans. Here the personified mirror is the speaker here.

      Or,  Here the speaker is the mirror of the first class waiting room of a railway station where Mohan Lal was waiting for the train.

       Sir Mohanlal has been referred to as 'old chap' in this line.

       Sir Mohan Lal was an anglicized Indian. He blindly embraced British ways and culture. He felt himself as an Englishman and hated everything of India. He was fond of speaking English all the time. He wore expensive suit from Saville Row, London. There was a carnation in the buttonhole of his coat. He used eau de cologn, talcum powder and scented soap. His moustache was neatly trimmed. In a word, he was minutely particular about his dress and make-up. His treatment of Indians was so cruel that he was ashamed to travel even with his wife.  Here Khushwant Singh presented the character of Sir Mohan Lal in an ironic manner.
