  "THE TOLL-HOUSE" 
  
  "It's all nonsense," said Jack Barnes.  "Of course people have died in the house; people die in every house.  As for the noises--wind in the chimney and rats in the wainscot are very convincing to a nervous man.  Give me another cup of tea, Meagle." 
  "Lester and White are first," said Meagle, who was presiding at the tea-table of the Three Feathers Inn.  "You've had two." 
  Lester and White finished their cups with irritating slowness, pausing between sips to sniff the aroma, and to discover the sex and dates of arrival of the "strangers" which floated in some numbers in the beverage. Mr. Meagle served them to the brim, and then, turning to the grimly expectant Mr. Barnes, blandly requested him to ring for hot water.
