Answer» The words “Can you tell me – did she keep her hair long or short” are extracted from the lesson “The eyes are not here”, by Ruskin Bond. The narrator asks the man who had just entered the train compartment. The narrator is curious about the girl who had just alighted from the train. He was blind and had not been able to notice her appearance. The narrator had tried his best to conceal the fact that he was blind from the girl who had been travelling with him. When the girl got down at the station, a new passenger got into the coach. There was some commotion at the door. The narrator asked the above question to the new passenger when he started the conversation with him. |
