“She was an interesting girl,” -Who said this to whom and when ? What else did the person say? What reply did he get ? Class 12 | English (The Eyes Have It) 6 Marks

Ans:

The narrator of Ruskin Bond’s short story ‘The Eyes Have It said this to the man, his second co-passenger who boarded the train at Saharanpur.

When the fellow-traveller told the narrator that he was not nearly as attractive a travelling companion as the one who had just left, then the narrator said the above quoted line.

The narrator asked his fellow passenger, if he could tell him whether the girl, who got down from the train a few minutes back kept her hair long or short.

The man who broke into the narrator’s daydream sounded bewildered hearing the question. He replied that he did not remember the length of the girl’s hair 

since it did not catch his attention. He said that he noticed the beautiful eyes of the girl. The twist in the tale got revealed when the man told the narrator that the girl’s eyes were of no use to her as she was completely blind.
