This cabin is quite unique.
It isn't just the way of the Transgressor that's hard. Nobody's way is any too easy! The door-key, though, was exactly where the old Butler had said it would be, under the door mat, and the key itself turned astonishingly cordially in the rusty old lock.
He managed to procure a dilapidated old piano, put it in tune with consummate patience, by means of a common door-key, and actually, then and there, on the 14th of October, 1808, composed his well-known beautiful song, 'Ein steter Kampf ist unser Leben.

"What about the door-key, mother? you've no objection to my calling you mother, have you?" "None whatever, Captain," replied Mrs Roby, with a pleasant smile, "an old friend of William may call me whatever he pleases short," she added after momentary pause, "of swearin'."

It was a memorable sight to see the Gunning twins wandering down The Lane hand in hand when their maternal relative had gone out washing for the day and taken the door-key with her.

A band of music played, and we students danced with one another. I was one of the last to depart, long after midnight, and on looking for my overcoat I could not find it. One of the guests had mistaken it for his, and the young gentleman's servant had carried his own home. This was unfortunate, for mine contained my door-key.
Acton folded Diggory to his breast in a loving embrace, Shaw and Morris stuffed the door-key down Mugford's back, while the remainder of the company executed a war-dance round Jack Vance. "My eye," cried the dux, "won't the Philistines be wild! Fancy upsetting them in the mud, and knocking Bernard's wind out! They won't be in a hurry to meddle with us again. Well done, Diggy!"
