Тезаурус:

1. Once we were sitting round the table and the landlady's son said, "Give me the butter."
2. His landlady was nervous of strangers and called through the door, "I'm sorry, Mr Ramsey is out."
3. But masked first-person narrative turns out to be deflected stream of consciousness - "He was not really afraid" will only transpose into "I'm not really afraid" flitting through his head as he passes the landlady's open kitchen door - so that the past tense collapses into the present, and we find we have put our finger on something pertinent to the novel's urgency and attack and (to borrow Andrew Forge's ugly but useful key-term for late Monet) its frontality.
4. They were not even allowed to attempt to grow things in tubs in their black area, for reasons vague but peremptory, put forward by their landlady, an octogenarian Mrs Irving, who inhabited the three floors above them in a rank civet fug amongst unnumbered cats, and who kept the garden as bright and wholesome and well-ordered as her living-room was sparse and decomposing.
5. The landladies found the Mites well behaved; they all had separate tasks for the day, two doing the food shopping for the troupe which the landlady would cook.
6. If he had persevered a bit more, he might have found a landlady whose idea of cooking extended beyond steak-and-kidney pudding and spotted Dick.
7. It would have driven every other landlady to distraction but Wilson was determined not to be bested.
8. This was indeed the last straw: "I never 'ad, a bit 'o luck," said our landlady, "since yew girls came into the 'ouse!"
9. They called their censorious landlady IT.
10. Raskolnikov's first thought on slinking down the lodging-house stairs is one of surprise at himself that he should be "simultaneously" in terror of his landlady and planning a murder.
11. A previous landlady had tried to help herself to the orange juice to put in her gin.
12. Raskolnikov knows (but leaves us to infer) that his present state of mind renders chatter on the stairs intolerable, which looks like fear of his landlady but "really" isn't.
13. Sleep would perhaps make more sense after thirty-six hours straight on duty, much of it spent with a sullen Jamaican who had killed his landlady and her three children in the crowded kitchen of a house behind the Westway.
