Explain-'sometimes the bus seemed on the point of gobbling up another vehicle...​

Answer 1

Answer:

The bus rolled on now cutting across a base landscape, now rushing through a tiny hamlet or past an odd  wayside shop. Sometimes the bus seemed on the point of gobbling up another vehicle that was coming  towards them or a pedestrian crossing the road. But lo! somehow it passed on smoothly, leaving all obstacles  safely behind. Trees came running towards them but then stopped as the bus reached them and simply  stood there helpless for a moment by the side of the road before rushing away in the other direction.

She was Valla. The voice was that of an elderly man who was concerned about Valla standing on the window seat.

As she sat on the seat she found her view cut off by a canvas blind that covered the lower part of the window. So she stood up on the seat.

Valla observes the camel, green fields, palm trees, etc. with her own eyes.
