"This is the place.

Will you come in, Mr.Bangs?
You can put your horse in that barn, I'm sure, if you want to." But Bailey declined to come in.

He declared he was going on to the blacksmith's shop to have that wheel fixed.

He would not feel safe to start for home with it as it was.

He drove off, and Miss Dawes, knowing from lifelong experience that front doors are merely for show, passed around the main body of the house and rapped on the door in the ell.
The rap was not answered, though she could hear some one moving about within, and a shrill voice singing "The Sweet By and By." So she rapped again and again, but still no one came to the door.
