Question

Summarize the story, “The Landlady,” in 3-5 sentences

Answer 1

Answer:

As the story opens, we meet 17-year-old Billy Weaver, who has traveled alone from London to Bath on an afternoon train. By the time he arrives in Bath, it's quite cold outside and late. Weaver asks the porter, a person who transports luggage, where he might find a nearby hotel. The porter suggests a pub, telling Weaver, 'Try The Bell and Dragon. They might take you in.' The author continues the story by telling us how young Billy is and that he's never traveled to Bath before. He knows no one in town. He's a rather ambitious young man, though, and he looks up to the 'big shots up at Head Office' for their briskness in all their tasks.
