"When the train arrived, an English employee said to Haji Saheb in broken Hindi, "Munshi! You should walk with your shoes. When the train arrives, there will be no empty seats on the platform." Haji Saheb said with folded hands, "Hujur, all those shoes are not covered." The employee again tapped his shoe on a "bag" and said, "Ha, ha - all those shoes should walk." The women did not utter the word "shoe boot" at the request of the veil."
