Answers
Explanation:
to get more and more info about the bus and its route
Explanation:
Valli was traveling by bus for the first time. The conductor called her child, this irritated her, and she corrected him by saying that she was eight years old and not a child. The conductor started to address her madam.
She was annoyed by his teasing but at the same time, she managed to laugh. Suddenly in the next stop an old lady who got onto the bus and sat beside her. She asked her if she was traveling alone.
Valli merely by the very sight of her did not like her. She had very big ear lobes and was wearing big earrings which were the custom of wearing big earrings. She was chewing the betel leaves and was a mouthful and the betel leaves would spill any moment.
Valli was very scared that she would spit it on her any moment.
Valli did not like her from the very beginning and she felt she need not socialize with her. So Valli did not want or make friends with her.
