Mr. Know All - Character Profiles by Maureen Finkelstein https://padlet.com/maureenfinkel/wvj4hop6ocx8up4j en-us 2023-03-11 08:48:40 UTC 2023-03-16 09:02:08 UTC hello@padlet.com I am a nameless white Englishman traveling by ship from San Francisco to Yokohama, Japan after WWI. I would rather not have anyone else as my cabin mate, except maybe another Englishman. I am disdainful of British citizens with colonial origins. I don’t like Mr. Kelada, even before I meet him. maureenfinkel https://padlet.com/maureenfinkel/wvj4hop6ocx8up4j/wish/2512572232 2023-03-11 08:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/maureenfinkel/wvj4hop6ocx8up4j/wish/2512572232 I share my cabin with the narrator.
