Crossword-Solution: BABAJI 6 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 17

Babaji having seen something of English ways during his term of office as collector, prepared to build the sort of house which would suit an Englishman.

The house was quickly built, and would have been an excellent one in all respects but for certain economies which Babaji insisted on, to the great indignation of the contractor.

Babaji made an effort in this direction also, but the contractor said that unless he got his money he should take the matter into court, and refused to have anything more to do with the job.

After much fierce wrangling, the latter came triumphantly one day to show me the cheque which Babaji had just written for him.

The first thing that Babaji did when left to himself was to put iron bars to the windows to keep out thieves, and to close in the fronts of his verandahs in the same way, so that they looked like cages in the Zoological Gardens.
