Little Old Gentleman

Gluck. What a pity my brothers never ask anybody to dinner. I’m sure when they’ve got such a nice piece of mutton as this it would do their hearts good to have somebody to eat it with them. [Knock sounds at the door.] It must be the wind. Nobody else would dare to knock double knocks at our door. [Gluck goes to the window.]

Little Old Gentleman. Hello! That’s not the way to answer the door. I am wet. Let me in.

Gluck. I beg your pardon, sir. I am very sorry, but I really can’t.

Little Old Gentleman. Can’t what?
