The words "racket," "sauntering," and "smirked" imply that the narrator considers the adventure a joke. The use of "racket" suggests that there was noise and commotion surrounding the gates, but the narrator and K.P. approach the situation casually ("sauntering") and with a sense of amusement ("smirked"), indicating they are not taking the potential spookiness seriously. This tone reflects a lighthearted attitude rather than fear or a desire to impress.
