Billy is trying to retrace his memory, when the old woman comes back, but not with the tea, “Where is the tea?” he says. crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392220009 2019-10-02 01:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392220009 crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392220588 “Why thank you, miss,” Billy said, “but I really should be off to bed as I have an early day in the morning.”
“No, no, we have a little more time together don’t we?”
“I truly am sorry, ma’am, but I’ll be going up now.”

Then she went to bring Billy his biscuit and the cup of tea and right as Billy took a generous bite out of his ginger biscuit, the Landlady said, “It would be a shame if something bad were to happen, goodnight Billy” she said with a smile on her face.]]> 2019-10-02 01:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392220654 crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392220782 Billy sat down on the sofa just as the landlady told him to do and ate some ginger biscuits with a cup of tea. The tea was warm and soothing but the aftertaste was bitter and quite peculiar, but just as he was about to ask the landlady what she put in the tea he began to feel rather lightheaded.
“Um if you’ll excuse me I am getting rather tired could I head up to my room please?” said Billy
“Of course my dear, off you go.” said the Landlady with a suspicious grin on her face.]]> 2019-10-02 01:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392220782 After the ginger biscuits Billy found his way to his room, he sat down on his bed and said to himself. “Now I remember, they were both in the paper, under missing section.”. As he thought to himself, he started to feel dizzy. crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392220846 2019-10-02 01:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392220846 “You really shouldn’t bother,” Billy said. “I didn’t mean you to do anything like that.” He stood by the piano, watching her as she fussed about with the cups and saucers. crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221103 2019-10-02 01:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221103 “No, that’s fine,” says Billy, “I think imma just go to bed.” The next morning, still curious about the names, Billy goes to a library after his visit to the office and finds out that both Mullholland and Temple have been murdered. The names were so familiar because he had read a newspaper article about them. crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221193 2019-10-02 01:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221193 crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221337 Billy was tired from all that travel, but who was he to say no to this sweet lady? “I’d quite like that,” said Billy. “Thanks.” “My pleasure, my dear,” she said. “I’m just fortunate to have you here.”]]> 2019-10-02 01:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221337 Feeling a bit uneasy, Billy trembled and slowly made his way to the old lady. When he glanced into his teacup and smelled the warm, creamy, delicious aroma of the tea, another question popped into his mind. “You are so kind. May I ask for your name? I would like to thank you for your hospitality.” crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221423 2019-10-02 01:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221423 “As I sat down on one of the several plump armchairs, the landlady handed me a warm,soft biscuit.”“I couldn’t help keep wondering why those two names ring a bell and why her last resident was 2 years ago.”“I took a bite of the soft biscuit as I was lost in my thoughts and noticed how sweet the biscuit is, I reached for my cup of tea and drank it down it in one gulp.” crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221529 2019-10-02 01:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221529 Billy suspiciously walked over and took a seat on the small sofa next to the peculiar woman and grabbed the cup of tea and a ginger biscuit. After pretending to drink the tea Billy asked “do you recall the names of those 2 boys who went missing a few years back”, “dear as I said my brain does have a bit of trouble keeping up”. “Dear why don’t you try the biscuit,” she said, Billy slowly biting into the ginger biscuit immediately dropped to the floor never to leave that cursed building. crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221596 2019-10-02 01:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221596 On his way to bed, he was thinking. While he was going up the stairs he was drinking his tea and eating his ginger biscuit. Once he finished eating he realized, Mulholland and Temple were both missing people. crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221709 2019-10-02 01:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221709 As Billy sat down he started to remember the names Temple and Mulholland, he had seen them in the newspaper a few years back. He stood back up and bolted out the door, he had remembered that the LandLady had eaten them and turned them into tea. If he had stayed longer, who knows what would’ve happened, would he have been eaten too or would he have been drinking Temple and Mulholland? crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221805 2019-10-02 01:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221805 crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221882 “Well alright,” he said as he cautiously plopped down beside her, handing him a dainty tea cup and crisp biscuit. Billy consumed the sweet refreshments, but he wanted to further discuss his suspicions with the harmless landlady. But suddenly, Billy started feeling quite drowsy with his eyes slowly drooping, “Sweet dreams, Mr. Weaver.” the landlady whispered.]]> 2019-10-02 01:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221882 crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221951 They sat on the living room couch, on opposite ends, Billy thinking about those names.
The Landlady said, “Those names sound familiar because they were my grandchildren. I loved them ever so dearly.”
“Excuse me, what?”
“They were my grandchildren, they died 6 months ago.”]]> 2019-10-02 01:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392221951 He carefully sat down on the left edge of the sofa, his mind still pondering the connection of the names.“Here, take a sip Mr. Wilber, why don’t you.” she said, placing the cup of tea next to him.“Weaver.” he said, gently picking up the dainty cup of tea. crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392222007 2019-10-02 01:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392222007 Billy walked over toward the landlady and sat down on the sofa. He took a sip of his hot, steamy tea and ate a corner off the ginger biscuit.“Do you know what the connection between Mulholland and Temple?” crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392222675 2019-10-02 01:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392222675 He sits beside the landlady and enjoys the tea. As he sips his first bit of tea, he recalls Christopher Mulholland and Gregory W.Temple were missing from a business trip to Bath. He realizes that the missing of the two businessmen is somehow connected to the Landlady. crwatts https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392223213 2019-10-02 01:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392223213 hcps_nikolovct https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392535493 He sat down lightly on the cozy stuffed sofa, as she handed him a warm, fresh from the oven, ginger biscuit. “Is this your recipe?,” he wondered in a kind manner. “Well yes indeed it is,” she announced, “why don’t you have a cup of tea to wash it all down?”]]> 2019-10-02 15:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392535493 “Thank you.” Billy said as she then sets down the nice tea set, ready to enjoy. “Do you know who they are?”, the landlady said, “Not much more than their names. Are you sure you haven’t met them before?” Billy said, “I honestly don’t know.” hcps_mohameah2 https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392535585 2019-10-02 15:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392535585 As Mr.Weaver walks up to the charming bedroom, he realises something. The two names did sound familiar, he used to work together with them! He starts walking down the stairs, he must get to the bottom of this! https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392536498 2019-10-02 15:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392536498 https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392538202 “Well that seems like a swell idea,” he said as he carefully sat down beside her. While drinking the so graciously offered tea, he became quite faint. He immediately stood up and within seconds falling back down, head first onto the shiny white tile, with the landlady slowly watching him fall with a slight grin.]]> 2019-10-02 15:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392538202 hcps_conradias https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392540229 Billy, taking up her offer of tea and cookies, moved over to sit next to her on the sofa.

As I sat in the chair, the elderly woman tried to get me off topic. So, I thought maybe she knows something about these people and what happened to them. https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392567259 2019-10-02 16:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/crwatts/qwqh6bw7ngnd/wish/392567259
