I walked across to the tea stall. A kettle was boiling over on a small fire, but the owner of the stall was busy serving tea somewhere on the train. The girl followed me behind the stall.

'Do you want to buy a basket?' she asked.
'They are very strong, made of the finest cane.'
'No,' I said, 'I don't want a basket.'
We stood looking at each other for what seemed a very long time and then she said, 'Are you sure you don't want a basket?'
'All right, give me one,' I said, and I took the one on top and gave her a rupee, hardly daring to touch her fingers.
As she was about to speak, the guard blew his whistle; she said something, but it was lost in the clanging of the bell and the hissing of the engine. I had to run back to my compartment. The carriage shuddered and jolted forward.
I watched her as the platform slipped away. She was alone on the platform and she did not move, but was looking at me and smiling. I watched her till the signal box came in the way, and then the jungle hid the station but I could still see her standing alone...
