The landlady takes Billy up to see his room on the second floor, and is about to leave him to rest before...
Before you go to bed, would you be kind enough to pop into the sitting-room on the ground floor and sign the book? Everyone has to do that because it's the law of the land.

Billy goes to sign the book, but notices the entries in the book are from years ago. Their names are familiar, too. The landlady disregards this and invites him to have tea.
Wait just aminute. Mulholland ... Christopher Mulholland... wasn’t that the name of the Eton schoolboywho was on a walking-tour through the WestCountry, and then all of a sudden ...
Mr Mulholland was a great one for his tea.
I suppose he left fairly recently,
Left? But mydear boy, he never left. He’s still here. MrTemple is also here. They’re on the thirdfloor, both of them together.

The landlady reveals she has a thing for taxidermy. The dog that Billy saw earlier in the lobby was done by her. He's fascinated and continues to enjoy his tea, which faintly tastes of bitter almonds.
No, thank you.
You did sign the book, didn’t you?
Oh, yes.
That’s good. If I happen to forget what you were called, then I can always come down here and look it up. I still do that almost every day with Mr Mulholland and Mr . . .Mr...
Temple. Gregory Temple. Excuse my asking, but haven't there been any other guests here except them in the last two or three years?
No, my dear, only you.

I stuff all my little pets myself when they pass away. Will you have another cup of tea?
