6. Describe how the girl left the train. What was the impact of her departure on the narrator ? 2+4
The train approached Saharanpur. The girl began to collect her things. When the train drew into the station a female voice shouted near the carriage door. The girl bade goodbye and left.
The narrator realised that he was charmed by the girl very much. He wondered if she had kept her hair in bun or it was plaited or it was kept loose. It should be short. The narrator was lost in dream. The girl was standing close to him. The perfume from her hair was tantalising. He wanted to raise his hand and touch her hair but she she moved away. Only the perfume lingered where she stood.
