\u201cStep into our Parlor\u201d, in Redbook magazine, August 1961.<\/h3>\n

Sent to value some property of his father, a young Mr. Thale is surprised to find that the house is occupied by 4 squatters. His Great Aunt being the original owner of the property he thought to be empty for 6 years has been collecting people. They advertised for a young man to marry their youngest member a little lady named Tarragon. But instead, they get him. Can he keep quiet about these lost souls? Or, will he have to kick these people? (This is a short-story version of Thale\u2019s Folly)<\/p>\n

Again the only place I could find this magazine is through a second-hand store online called Past Papers<\/a>. You could try eBay <\/a>sometimes you can find older magazines as well.<\/p>\n
