In an alley.....

SO after a while Christian arrived at the Wicket-gate. Now over the
gate there was written, Knock and it shall be opened unto you.
Therefore he knocked more than once or twice while saying:
May I now enter here? Will he within
Open to sorry me, though I have bin
An undeserving rebel? Then shall I
Not fail to sing his lasting praise on high.

John Bunyan: Pilgrim's Progress
