A homeless man is travelling down a rustic lane, drained and hungry he comes throughout a pub known as the ‘George and the Dragon’.
Though it’s late and the pub is closed, he knocks on the door. The innkeeper’s spouse sticks her head out a window.
“May I’ve some meals?”, he asks.
The lady glances at his shabby garments and clearly poor situation and sternly says, “No!”
“Any probability of a pint of ale then?”
“No!”, she says once more.
“May I at the very least sleep in your barn?”
“No!” By this time, she was clearly getting very aggravated.
The down and out says, “Okay then would possibly I please…?”
“What now?”, the girl interrupts impatiently.
“… would possibly I please have a phrase with George?
