Explanation:

Mr Oliver, the Anglo-Indian teacher in a public school at Simla, is the protagonist of the story “A Face in the Dark”. His encounter with a school boy in the dark forest is enough to scare him out of his wits. This boy looks more like a spectre when the teacher flashes his torch at his face. The face is without eyes, ears, nose or mouth. It is just a round, smooth head – with a school cap on top of it. Mr Oliver is too shocked to say anything.

However, the teacher’s predicament does not end there. He turns back and runs blindly towards the school building. He sees a lantern swinging in the middle of the path. Mr Oliver stumbles up to the watchman gasping for breath. The watchman asks him why he is looking so upset. The teacher replies that he’ has seen something weird and supernatural – a boy weeping in the forest and having a faceless face. The watchman asks : “Do you mean it was like this, Sahib ?” and raises the lantern to his own face. The teacher is dumbfounded to see that even the watchman has no eyes, no ears, no features – not even an eyebrow ! Instantly, the wind blows the lantern out and the story comes to an abrupt end. The reader is left in the dark without any kind of explanation for this supernatural, paranormal episode.
