landlady

His landlady interrupted his gaze to know what he would have for dinner, but he declined to use any discretion in the matter.

I think he has once or twice sent her what the landlady's daughter calls bo-kays of flowers,—somebody has, at any rate.

In the evening he told the landlady he would leave next day, in spite of her assurances that nothing more would happen.
