“Yes, October is the best time.”- Who is the speaker? On what occasion is the remark made and to whom? Why is October the best time? Class 12 | English (The Eyes Have It) 6 Marks

Ans:

The speaker of the line mentioned above is the narrator.

When the girl who was travelling with the narrator in the same compartment asked the narrator about his destination, the narrator replied that he was going to Mussoorie. The girl then expressed her desire to visit Mussoorie. This marked the beginning of a conversation between the narrator and the girl regarding the beauty of the hills and the narrator remarked that October is the best time to visit the hills.

October is the best time to visit the hills because by that time the hills are covered with wild dahlias, the sunshine is pleasant and at night one can sit in front of a logfire and drink a little brandy. The roads also become quiet and deserted as the tourist season gets over.
