The landlady
Storyboard Text
- Roald Dahl's "The Landlady" narrates the tale of Billy Weaver, who, on a chilly night, was seeking accommodation in London. Despite learning about The Bell and Dragon, he couldn't afford it due to its high price.
- Billy was tired, but something caught his eye. It said "Bed and Breakfast." He felt like he couldn't look away. When he looked in the window, the place looked nice and cozy. He pressed the door bell and in a couple of seconds, a woman flung open the door and greeted him.
- The landlady showed Billy Weaver around. While they chatted, he put his things in his room. Then, he went back down the stairs to the living room. He noticed a book there with two names. They seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember why. They sat down in the chairs by the fireplace.
- Billy and the landlady drank tea and talked about how many people have visited her. The landlady said the last entry was 2 years ago. Billy remembered that a person that went by that name went missing around 2 years ago.
- Billy starts to notice some weird things. The dog he thought was sleeping and the parrot who he thought was just quiet were both dead and stuffed. When he touched the dog, its skin was cold and grey.
- Billy asked if she stuffed them. She said that she stuffed all her pets. Then, she told him to sign the book so she could remember his name. When he asks if there have been any other guests, she responded, "only you my dear."
