He is dogmatic and thinks that he knows everything better than anybody else, he is certain that you are as glad to see him as he is glad to see you. He argues a lot and always has something to say, runs everything, conducts the auction, collects money for prizes at the sports, organizes the concerts and arranges a ball. All these annoy the passengers and the narrator, but Mr.Kelada doesn't want to annoy them, he has good intentions, he's interested in being friendly with the passengers and the narrator and he helps them. He does all those things to prove that although he comes from a British colony, he isn't a second class citizen. After all, someone who is inferior can't be so smart and friendly as he is.
