"The man who had entered the compartment broke into my reverie"- Explain

This line is taken from Ruskin Bond's short story The Eyes Have It. The reverie of the narrator of the story is mentioned here.

        Although the narrator himself was blind and did not know that the girl too was blind, he was very much impressed by her voice, her ringing laugh and the perfume of her hair. It was enough to transport him into a world of daydream.

       The reverie came to an end when an elderly gentleman entered the compartment and told him that he was not so attractive travelling companion as the girl who had just left.
