[Ads-l] Katie bar the door

[Bill Mullins]

Thanks much, Dave and Bonnie.

The context of my request is that I am collecting literary allusions in the juvenile novels of Robert A. Heinlein, and his 1949 novel Red Planet has a character saying "Maggie bar the door."  I was curious if it came from a poem or story of note.
