Can you recount the story from Chapter 9 involving the families of Tatyasaheb Noolkar and Bhausaheb Dixit and their departure from Shirdi?

Certainly. A note within Chapter 9 recounts an incident concerning the families of Tatyasaheb Noolkar and Bhausaheb Dixit. When they were preparing to leave Shirdi, Sai Baba specifically instructed them to go the next morning and eat a meal at Kopargaon before continuing their journey. They sent a message ahead to have the meal prepared but, upon arriving in Kopargaon, found that the food was not ready. Being anxious about catching their train, they went to the station without eating. As Chapter 9 narrates, they then discovered that the train was delayed by an hour and a half, illustrating the trouble that arose from not precisely following Baba's instructions.
