• Imagine that the author decided to tell the same story, still third person limited point of view, with access to the landlady’s thoughts and feelings—not Billy’s.
• If the narrator had access to the landlady's thoughts and not Billy’s, this would not alter the events of the story.
Billy would still come to the Bed and
Breakfast.
• If the narrator had access to the landlady's thoughts and not Billy’s, readers would know the landlady's thoughts about what was happening in the story..
• However, the readers would still hear what Billy says out loud.Billy Weaver, 17, travelled down from London & arrived at Bath at 9 PM. He was to report to his company's branch manager in the morning. Seeing a sign "Bed and Breakfast" on a house, he decided that he might stop there for the night. The landlady came out as soon as he put his finger on the bell, as though she had been expecting him. She was a sweet middle-aged person who seemed a bit odd. Billy discovered several odd things shortly. No names had been entered in the guest book in several years The only other names were Christopher Mulholland and Gregory Temple, which were famililar to him but he did not know just why. He also discovered that the landlady's pet parrot & dog were stuffed. She said she always stuffed her pets when they passed away. Another strange remark was that her two other young men guests were very good looking; one, aged 28, did not have a blemish on his body
