had the train compartment to myself up to Rohana, then a girl got in. The
couple who saw her off were probably her parents; they seemed very anxious
about her comfort, and the woman gave the girl detailed instructions as to where
to keep her things, when not to lean out of windows, and how to avoid speaking
to strangers.
They called their goodbyes and the train pulled out of the station. As I was
totally blind at the time, my eyes sensitive only to light and darkness, I was
unable to tell what the girl looked like; but I knew she wore slippers from the
way they slapped against her heels.
It would take me some time to discover something about her looks, and
perhaps I never would. But I liked the sound of her voice, and even the sound of
her slippers.
"Are you going all the way to Dehra?" I asked.
I must have been sitting in a dark corner, because my voice startled her. She
gave a little exclamation and said, “I didn't know anyone else was here."
Well, it often happens that people with good eyesight fail to see what is
right in front of them. They have too much to take in, I suppose. Whereas people
who cannot see (or see very little) have to take in only the essentials, whatever
registers most tellingly on their remaining senses.
