In my Merwinsville Hotel materials, I found a reference to a Thurber story that involves Merwinsville. A couple pick up the train at Cornwall Bridge, heading to Gaylordsville. While waiting in the station, a man overhears the stationmaster talking on the phone. Then the couple speculates about the meaning of the conversation.
The story really has nothing to do with Merwinsville, but it was fun. It was in a collection I found at the library--Thurber on Crime.
Since I liked The Lady on 142, I read ten other stories in the collection. I only liked one of them and gave up. Instead I started The Princes in the Tower.
