  1. Idiom and Foreshadowing in “The Landlady”

  2. Idioms • The landlady appeared to be slightly off her rocker. • “How time does fly from us all, doesn’t it, Mr. Wilkins?” • “In one ear and out the other, that’s me, Mr. Weaver.” • This dame was like a jack-in-the-box. He pressed the bell—and out she popped!

  3. Foreshadowing • The landlady says she was “ready” for Billy, and she says he is exactly right. • There have only been 2 other gentlemen who have stayed at the Bed and Breakfast; they both looked like Billy. • Billy thinks he remembers the 2 gentlemen, perhaps in the headlines. The landlady changes the subject every time he brings it up. • The landlady offers Billy more tea several times. The tea tastes like bitter almonds. • The dog and parrot are both dead. • We discover that the 2 gentlemen had never left.
