"Even better if she slipped a note under the door, and the envelope came back, with a key to the door."

You mean like a bribe? ;)

This reminds me of central America border adventures I had in the 80's - I put money in my passport and sailed through customs with no inspection (I was getting printing press parts across the border without getting them stuck in customs). SOP, it seems.

I was thinking it would be nice if she submitted an application in the form of a note, and was given the key to enter legally. But maybe that’s just me.
