Answers
Answer :
"The Eyes Have It" is a narrative story by Ruskin Bond which describes the train journey of the narrator.
The speaker of "Yes, this is the best time" is the narrator himself.
While interacting with the girl (the travelling companion of the narrator), the narrator said that he was going to Mussoorie. Hearing it, the girl exclaimed with joy that the narrator was so lucky and she wished to go to Mussoorie in October times. This made the narrator reply in an affirmative tone.
October in Mussoorie makes the nature more beautiful where the hills stay covered with wild dahlias and the steeping sun so delicious. At night, visitors can sit in front of a log fire and drink a sip of brandy. The nature stays silent because till then most of the tourists have gone. This comment was made by the narrator calling on his memories.
Answer:
The speaker of the quoted line is the blind narrator and he is speaking to his blind co-passenger in the train .
“October is the best time” because during October the hills of Mussoorie become quiet and almost deserted . The tourists love the calm aesthetic beauty then . The hills adorn themselves with wild dahlias, the sun becomes warm and delicious. And one can sit beside the logfire at night and enjoy a little brandy .The descriptive details of Mussoorie made both narrator and the girl nostalgic and they remained silent for some time.
