Ans:- In the story 'The Eyes Have It' by Ruskin Bond the girl said this to the narrator of the story.
The girl passenger entered the compartment at Rohana. The narrator had already been present there. But the girl didn't notice it. The narrator suddenly asked her if she was going all the way to Dehra. The girl was startled and said this.
When the girl uttered this word, the narrator thought that he must be sitting in a dark corner so the girl was unable to see him. Then he felt that people with good eyesight often fail to see what was before their eyes. In the same way the girl might also have failed to see him.
