- Mabel does not think the punishment for a thief should be murder so her plan is to tell the neighbors (Alec's wife) in order to inform someone of Judson's plan.
- Judson believes he can implement and carry out his own form of justice for any wrong doing against him so his plan is to poison the thief by putting a deadly poison into the drink that the thief "stole".
Describe the difference between the woman's tone and the overall mood in the following passage found on the last page of "The Landlady" by Roald Dahl.
"Temple," Billy said, "Gregory Temple. Excuse my asking, but haven't there been any other guests here except them in the last two or three years?"
Holding her teacup high in one hand, inclining her head slightly to the left, she looked up at him out of the corners of her eyes and gave him another gentle little smile.
"No, my dear," she said. "Only you."
What is...the landlady's tone is calm and relaxed while the mood is tense, ominous, and uncomfortable (or other based on teacher discretion) because it reveals to the reader that the landlady's Bed & Breakfast (creepily) has only had two guests in the last 2-3 years, both who Billy seems to (kinda) remember headlines about them going missing.
