The LandLady
Storyboard Text
- Billy Weaver, a character from Roald Dahl's story "The Landlady," was on his way to London one chilly night. He was trying to find somewhere to stay. The Bell and Dragon was a location he had heard about, but it was out of his price range.
- Even though Billy felt exhausted, he noticed something. "Bed and Breakfast," it read. He felt compelled to continue staring. He peered through the window and thought it was a comfortable home. After ringing the doorbell, a woman quickly swung open the door and greeted him.
- Billy Weaver was shown about by the landlord. He assembled his belongings in his room while they talked. He then returned to the living room by going back down the stairs. There was a book with two names, he noted. He couldn't recall why, but they seemed familiar to him. They took seats in the chairs next to the fire.
- Billy and the landlady conversed over tea while discussing how many people had come to see her. The last entry, according to the landlady, was two years ago. Billy recalled that someone with that name had vanished two years prior.
- Billy begins to pick up on some odd stuff. The dog, which he believed to be sleeping, and the parrot, which he believed to be simply silent, were both dead and stuffed. The dog's skin was frigid and greyish to the touch.
- Billy questioned whether she stuffed them. She claimed to have stuffed each of her animals. She then requested that he sign the book so that she could have his name in mind. She answered, "Only you my dear," when he inquired about other guests.
