Excerpt from The Burnt Offering
Never mind about that, Baboo. There isn't room for you.
The young man spoke good-naturedly enough, but he definitely barred the entrance with the lower half of a leg in flannel trousers, and a foot in a brown leather boot. He had not taken the trouble to shut the door.
The person addressed as Baboo, who wore neat European clothes and a small white and gold twisted head-dress, nevertheless ventured to step upon the foot board and look into the carriage, which contained a good deal of dusty luggage and one other young gentleman.

Excerpt from The Burnt Offering
"You cant get in here, Baboo. There isn't room." The train was standing in the little pink station of Pubni, on its way to Calcutta. A lean old man with water in a goat-skin slaked the platform with a flourishing jet from his fingers, and the afternoon sun slanted on the purple bougain-villiers over the gate-posts of the station-master's garden. It was a warm, gentle, still halting-place; between the grunts of the pausing engine a bee buzzed audibly in the bougain-villiers; and a crow in a pipal across the lines seemed to deliver himself for the whole district.
"How many persons are in this carriage, sir?"
"Never mind about that, Baboo. There isn't room, for you."
The young man spoke good-naturedly enough, but he definitely barred the entrance with the lower half of a leg in flannel trousers, and a foot in a brown leather hoot. He had not taken the trouble to shut the door.
