There are some things you grow accustomed to when you're in the business of intelligence. For example: walking into a room, or a building, that by all accounts shouldn't be there. These sorts of things happen all the time. They're the territory of diabolical criminal masterminds bent on dealing in absolute secrecy. Of course they fail. That's how their secret chambers are discovered, by the people who by all accounts shouldn't be there but are by the grace of some slip-up on the mastermind's part. Or on the part of a mastermind's minion. It's always a little bit surprising to stumble upon these places, but the thing to remember is that there's always an explanation, always a reason why that place is there. It's some vital clue to fully seeing what the enemy did there.
So there has to be some reason why this door has lead Emma Peel to a pub quite different than the village pub. Perhaps the secret behind this mystery is that the town is full of drunks who get their kicks from creating unnecessary speakeasies. Things do become more interesting when there's a touch of the forbidden. Or maybe there's another explanation for it that has nothing to do with her odd sense of humor. The latter is more likely. Regardless, she is not, as far as she knows, in friendly territory. Thus the necessary precaution of walking into the bar as if she meant to come here all along--not as if she is a confused newbie who wants to know where she is. This works most of the time. She hopes it will work now. There are far too many people in the bar to fight if it doesn't.
