Describe the conversation between the author and the last fellow passengers in the story The Eyes Have it by Ruskin Bond.



At Saharanpur, the blind girl co-passenger of the narrator got off the train and a new passenger got into the compartment. This co-passenger suddenly broke into the narrator's reverie by saying that he was not so attractive a travelling companion as the girl. This humorous speech of the new passenger jolted him out of his reverie and tease the narrator's feelings for the girl. Then the narrator wanted to about the girl’s hair and it shocked the new passenger. He wanted to know whether she had her hair long or short. Then he began to talk about the girl and described her as an interesting girl. The new fellow traveller informed him that he had noticed only her eyes, not her hair. He concluded his words by saying that her eyes were beautiful but of no use to her because she was completely blind. Thus, the conversation between the narrator and his last co passenger reveals the situational irony of the story.
