The model train club met in a room at the end of a long hall. New visitors often waited outside because they could not hear anyone inside. The members were busy discussing tiny trains and rarely noticed a quiet knock.
Elsie discovered the problem when her friend waited fifteen minutes before going home. At the next meeting, she asked the members to try a simple change. They would place a small bell on a table outside, beside a welcome sign.
Tom worried that children might ring the bell for fun. Elsie suggested testing it for two weeks before making a final decision. During the first evening, the bell rang three times. Each time, a visitor was waiting to come inside.
By the second week, someone always sat near the open door. They kept the bell anyway, because it was easy to use. Elsie's friend returned and rang it once. This time, Tom reached the door before she could take off her gloves.
