Question

This romantic life in Kashmir was drawing to its end after three glorious months. Miss Joan was leaving a week earlier than Mrs.
Rhodes, and about two days before she left I took her alone to the hotel for dinner. We walked to the hotel in perfect silenceja
silence so heavy that I could hardly breathe. The hotel seemed to be far away and yet not far enough. That night, as I served her
at table the temptation to touch her was overpowering, and I had almost forgotten myself when I dropped her coffee cup, which
made me pull myself together and realize my position and my caste. On the way home there was a bridge over the canal to be
crossed. She stopped on the bridge without a word, so I stopped beside her looking on to the calm water of the canal shining
between the gigantic chenar trees. In the distance a gramophone was playing and the music floated over the water. We stood for
a long time without saying a word to each other. I think the parting was disturbing her. There was something which she could not
have explained and which she was trying to express. It might have been just a fancy of her own, or it may have been the subcon-
scious knowledge of the secret, consuming passion of her attendant that was affecting her on this calm and beautiful night as
we tarried on the bridge. It seemed to me that we stood there for ages, as if neither of us dare break the magic spell of night and
music. Our houseboat was only a few yards from the bridge, and the Goodnight was the only word that passed between us as we
parted-everything then went into the darkness. The Mail lorry came up to the bridge to take her away from the romantic city of
Srinagar-and away from me. After she had taken her seat I put a woollen rug over her knees to keep her warm on the journey
and she handed me a ten-rupee note as a parting gift and sweetly said Good-bye. I watched her wave her hand till the lorry wa
out of sight. Then I realized what I had lost, and lost for ever.
