The missionaries were harshly rejected by the lady of the house who slammed the door in their faces. To her consternation, the door did not close completely but swung back towards her.
"Get your foot out of my door!" she shouted angrily.

"But, madam .... " he began again.
"Don't 'but madam,' me!" she screamed, going purple, and slamming the door again, this time with both hands, only to see it swing back at her a third time.
"Aaaaaargggghhhhhhhh!" she screamed hysterically.
The junior companion stepped forward and said softly through the door opening, "Madam, you will be able to shut the door if you first remove your cat!"
