Answer:
Undoubtedly,
Private Quelch was the man who knew 'Too Much', yet he failed to win the
admiration and hearts of his superior officers and his colleagues. He was known
for his habit of exposing his knowledge to others. He had got a nickname
'Professor' due to his lanky, stooping body and his habit of lecturing about his
knowledge in front of everyone. And he did not think twice before correcting
his superior officer's mistake.
He constantly interrupted training lectures and even advised the officers
as to how they should handle a topic. Due to his habit, he was gradually
disliked by his colleagues and they started to develop a terror of the Professor,
because sometimes he made them feel inferior by correcting their mistakes in
front of everyone.
This embarrassed his colleagues. At the end of the
chapter, he has been taught a lesson by Corporal Turnbull by being assigned to
permanent cookhouse duties. There also he showed off his knowledge. He proved
that old habits die hard.
All these features show that he was very steadfast in
nature and was a very hard worker. He really worked very hard to try to achieve
his goal.
