Esmiss Esmoor

That moment in Passage to India where the locals begin chanting ‘Mrs Moore’, and her son is revolted: ‘he disliked it more than he showed. It was revolting to hear his mother travestied into Esmiss Esmoor, a Hindu goddess.
Esmiss Esmoor
Esmiss Esmoor
Esmiss Esmoor.’
What’s odd about this is that Isis is not a Hindu deity ('is Mother Isis! More ...is Mother Isis!): although she is very much the right goddess to invoke at this moment in the novel.
