Can you narrate the sequence of events that led to H.S. Dixit and Madhavrao Deshpande deciding to travel to Shirdi together?

The plan for H.S. Dixit and Madhavrao Deshpande to travel together was a result of a remarkable chain of events. As Chapter 51 explains, Dixit was in Ahmednagar, anxious to go to Shirdi but without a companion. Simultaneously, Madhavrao was summoned to Nagar from Shirdi by a telegram about a family illness that turned out to be a false alarm. Just as Madhavrao arrived, he was seen by Nanasahib Panshe and Appasahib Gadre. They directed Madhavrao to Mirikar's house, where Dixit was staying. Balasaheb Mirikar then formally introduced the two men. During this very first meeting, they quickly made a firm plan to catch the ten o'clock night train to Shirdi, resolving Dixit's anxiety completely.
