The Landlady Sparknotes
The landlady is a short story about a Mr.Weaver needing a place to live in. First he thought that the Pub are the only place, but he found a place called Bed & Breakfast. He found it close to the pub. But as soon as he rings the bell, the landlady welcomed him to her hotel. But he doesn't know the landlady is a killer!

And scientist said if something taste bitter almonds, it could be poisonous. Plus she kept talking about tea throughout the book. She probably want him to drink the tea badly.

She also kept talking about her other victims. She said that they were in the third floor somewhere in the book.

    In her address, “The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House (1979), Audre Lorde exposes racism and classism within the feminist movement.
