The image is that of the interior (house, compartment) that is much larger
than the thing itself appears to be from the outside. I think I saw a
cartoon in which Bugs goes inside an Arabian tent only to find that the
interior is a huge mansion, but no one seems to remember this.
Kaspar Hauser (sp?) spoke of buildings this way. When you are
outside, the building is small, it lays in one direction only. Inside,
the building is large, it lays in all directions.
In _Glory Road_ Heinlein, the, um, butler? has a attache case
that opens up, and opens, and opens, until there's a door, and he goes
inside to fetch things.
