   Bertie is describing  subjectively his feelings in the morning, with a connotational meaning in "badly wrapped brown-paper parcel."; that is not a literal description, is a metaphoric referential that can be interpreted in the context as meaning that he feels tired and out of sorts, comparing himself in the morning to the paper in its appearance.
