What Billy Observes about Breakfast in Bed in "The Landlady"
Billy's Observations on Breakfast in Bed
He observes that the breakfast is very harmonious, cozy, safe, and comfortable.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Upon arriving at the inn that promised a good price for the breakfast in bed, Billy felt that he would be in a good place if he stayed there.
- That's because the place was pleasant, had a good and clean environment, with new and comfortable furniture, in addition to the presence of animals and flowers.
All these elements are presented in paragraph 8, which allows the reader, as well as Billy, to believe that this will be a very good place to stay, as it feels completely safe and comfortable. However, both the reader and Billy were mistaken, as this place was very dangerous.
