Excerpt from The Burnt Offering

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.
