well I can infer that the landlady is preserving the men for "later uses" the evidence i have to support this is the parrot and dog being perfectly preserved and she stated that they were on the third floor together. more evidence for this is that they stayed in the home for more than 3 years.

BILLY, was wonderring about what happened to the two boys when he went to sign his name on the paper.

The author was referring to the hotel as a sketchy and spooky house. This infers that something along the lines of a spooky house will happen.

I can infer that the lady was going to keep Billy in the hotel and use him for something later. I based these on the ending were the lady would not let him leave and said that he was the only one.

Billy wonders where the other two guests went, and he thought they were missing or something. Then the landlady said that they were still there, and so would Billy be because he was the only new one for the past two years. This makes it mysterious and it sounds like the landlady is evil and has kidnapped these people or something.

I can infer that the old lady wanted billy to stay due to the breakfast and using that as a lecture into to staying. I could also infer something bad happening to billy cause of how the old lady was acting.

The land lady kept talking about the "handsome young men" that were visiting, later in the story she had stuffed pets, she says she always stuffs her pets when they pass.

Well it turns out that the creepy old woman was bad. She killed and then stuffed people, a.k.a. her guests.

the house had a creepy aura to it

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning of the story i could infer that the whole bed and breakfast it self was very weird. The author had a lot of details about the sign which made it even more strange. Also when the old lady kept on calling him the wrong name.

I inferred that the landlady was going to be the antogonist.

There was an example of indirect characterization because you could tell that Billy was curious and thought the place was strange from the beginning because the author kept on describing the previous guests, the way the old lady looked and what the bed and breakfast looked like.

# data[].attributes.body
I inferred that the land lady only wanted handsome young men to be her guests so that she could stuff them and keep them on the third floor. In the part when he said he saw them people in the news paper he probably saw they went missing.

the foreshadowing was when the parrot and the dog and found the other animals were stuffed.

billy looked at the parrot and realized that is was completely motionless. then he went over to the dog near the fireplace and realized the dog was stuffed then he realized that they are just dead and stuffed.

# data[].attributes.body
I could infer at the beginning that it was pretty sketchy because, a) all landladies with perfect lodgings and too-kind attitudes are most likely evil, and b) Billy thought he recognized the names and that the two boys were missing or something.
