What did Ram Dass observe in Sara’s attic? How did he react?

From the text:

She had seen that his quick native eyes had taken in at a glance all the bare shabbiness of the room, but he spoke to her as if he were speaking to the little daughter of a rajah, and pretended that he observed nothing.

Ram das observe the shaby attic of sara's and hebpose like he didn't observed anything and talks to sar very nicely
