Knock at the Cabin
from Throw in the Pal
So there's a man walking through a dense woodland area, until he finally comes to a solitary cabin with rooms to let. He walks up to it and raps twice, loudly, on the door. "Who's there?" comes a reply. "Bob," the man responds. "Uh huh, Bob Down, I suppose?" says the now-wary voice emanating from the cabin. "I've heard that one before, mate! You'll hafta do better than that." "Now, look here," Bob implores, "I'm a simple man named Bob, and I'd like a place to stay for the night." "No jokers admitted, sorry." And with that, the man will hear no more. Later, when Bob tells this story to his Pals, he is effusive about the rudeness of the proprietor and the exhaustion he endured making his way to another establishment for the evening. However, Bob is always insistent that the dwelling itself was a handsome venture, a property of stout build and an inviting aura, as whatever grumblings he might have about his lacklustre experiences trying to procure a bed for the night, none of that in and of itself should be construed as a Knock at the Cabin.
