As soon as the girl enters the compartment, the young man asks her whether she was going all the way to Dehradun. When the girl expresses her surprise and tries to hide the fact that she was blind saying “I didn’t know anyone else was here”, the young man in his enthusiasm to prove her that he was normal sighted tells her, “I didn’t see you either, but I heard you come in”.

Had the young man been confident enough he should not have made the statement, but he was guilty that he was blind and so makes an attempt to cover up his fault.

When the girl learns that he was going to Mussoorie, she tells him that he is luckly and that she loves the hills especially in October. The young man recalls from memory his previous visits to Mussoorie and conveys his approval that October was the best time to visit Mussoorie. Then he gives a beautiful description of the natural scenery in Mussoorie only to let her know that he was normal sighted like any other person.

Next, he tells the girl that she had an interesting face only to flatter her.
