Questions from landlady
2)
Foreshadowing
Foreshadowing is an advance sign or warning of what is to come in the future. The author of a mystery novel might use foreshadowing in the early chapter of his book to give readers an inkling of an impending murder.
"No, thank you" billy said. The tea tasted faintly of bitter almonds, and he didn't much care for it.
3)
Foreshadowing is more like hinting something is going to happen and inference is more reasoning and giving evidences.
The same thing between foreshadowing and inference is that they both give the readers clues what's going to happen?
4)
It changes a lot because it means that the landlady isnt innocent because the drink is poisonous.
