When Madhavrao and Dixit found the train to Shirdi was full, how did they manage to get a seat?

When Madhavrao and Kakasaheb Dixit discovered the second-class compartment was packed, they were gripped with worry and considered returning to go the next day. However, as Chapter 51 recounts, their problem was solved unexpectedly. Just as they were about to give up, the train guard suddenly appeared. This guard turned out to be an acquaintance of Dixit. Recognizing him, the guard made an arrangement for both of them to sit comfortably in the first-class compartment without any further worry, allowing their journey to Shirdi to proceed as planned.
