Margaret Manely Was Cheap When Spending Money

The theme of “The Landlady” by Roald Dahl is that things aren’t always as they seem. When Billy was on his way to a hotel, he found a bed and breakfast place in which the price was “‘Five and six pence a night, including breakfast’ It was fantastically cheap. It was less than half of what he had been willing to pay” (Dahl 75). Billy thought that a bed and breakfast would cost much more than five and six pence a night, so he was dazzled at the cheap price that it was. He decided that since the price was so sincerely cheap, he would happily take the deal. The Landlady asked Billy if he would go downstairs and “sign the book” (Dahl 76), which was a guest book. His Landlady also said “‘I stuff all of my little pets myself when they pass away”’
