I’ll need the answers and passage to answer this.
Answer:
The irony is in saying that seeing a dog wearing pants (parody of breeches) was an uplifting or edifying sight which is really not true and which is comical when visualized.
Explanation:
An irony is expressing ones thoughts in words that mean the opposite to achieve humor. The narrator in this instance was looking down on the fireman by comparing him to a dog wearing pants and a feather hat.
He thus compared him to an animal and in the same instance, said that it was an edifying sight. He also called him a fine chap in the same breath. This is quite contradictory and that is how he achieved the use of irony in those lines.
The correct answer is:

Mr. Utterson, who´s the main narrator in the novel, has a rational, calm and curious personality. He is a lawyer and consequently a respectable and prosperous man in Victorian London.

Certain characters in a story could seem one way but turn out to be different in the end. For example, a character could be nice throughout the entire story up until the turning point. This certain character could turn out to be the antagonist after all and we wouldn't suspect It or vice versa. The antagonist could turn into a protagonist towards the end. It all depends on how the character is developed and presented.
