If you’re rowdy, you’re loud and raucous. You’re disturbing the peace and somebody’s likely to ask you to quiet down.
A periscope is a tool you use to see things that would otherwise be hidden or obstructed. If you've ever been stuck in a submarine, curious about what's going on above water, then you've needed a periscope.
A prodigy is someone who is so naturally talented at something that they become a master of that particular skill as a child––you can be a musical prodigy or a math prodigy. Mozart was one, writing symphonies and playing for kings when he was only five years old.
To signify means to "mean." When Paul Revere looked for the lanterns in the church tower, he knew that one wouldsignify that the British were coming by land and two would indicate that they were coming by sea.
A corsage is a small bouquet of flowers that can be worn on your wrist or pinned to your clothes. It's traditional for your prom date to give you acorsage.
To hustle something means to hurriedly push it along. If you overslept, you'll have to hustle out of the house to get to work on time.
If you drive into someone's fence, you’ll probably be held liable — legally responsible — for fixing it. Liable can also mean “likely,” usually with something unpleasant: "If you don't brush your teeth, they're liable to fall out."
Ventriloquists prove that even adults sometimes play with dolls. Specifically, these performers pretend to make their dolls, puppets, or dummies speak for entertainment purposes.

Use the noun quicksilver when you need a more poetic way to talk about the element known as mercury. If you look closely at an old-fashioned thermometer, you can see thequicksilver inside it.

The Landlady
1.
rapacious-The name of itself conjured images of watery cabbage, rapacious landladies and a powerful smell of kippers in in the living room.
dither-after dithering about like this in the cold for two minutes or three minutes.
compulsion-The compulsion or more accurately the desire to follow after her into that house was extraordinarily strong
swanky-each side, all of them identical. They had porches and pillars and four or five steps going up to their front doors, and it was obvious that once upon a time they had been very swanky residences. But now, even in the darkness, he could see that the paint was peeling from the woodwork on their doors and windows and that the handsome white facades were cracked and blotchy from neglect.
compelling-BED AND BREAKFAST, BED AND BREAKFAST. Each word was like a large black eye
staring at him through the glass, holding him, compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away from that house, and the next thing he knew, he was actually moving across from the window to the front door of the house, climbing the steps that led up to it, and reaching for the bell.
dotty-The old girl is slightly dotty, Billy told himself. But at five and sixpence a night, who cares about that? “I should’ve thought you’d be simply swamped with applicants,” he said politely.
dainty-The old girl is slightly dotty, Billy told himself.
tantalizing-There is nothing more tantalizing than a thing like this that lingers just outside the borders of one’s memory. He hated to give up.
-
linger-There is nothing more tantalizing than a thing like this that lingers just outside the borders of one’s memory. He hated to give up.
emanate-feel her eyes resting on his face, watching him over the rim of her teacup. Now and again, he caught a whiff of a peculiar smell that seemed to emanate directly from her person.
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.

He had stayed a couple of nights in a pub once before and he had liked it. He had never stayed in any boardinghouses, and, to be perfectly honest, he was a tiny bit frightened of them. The name itself conjured up images of watery cabbage, rapacious landladies, and a powerful smell of kippers in the living room.
3.There were no shops on this wide street that he was walking along, only a line of tall houses on
each side, all of them identical. They had porches and pillars and four or five steps going up to
their front doors, and it was obvious that once upon a time they had been very swanky
residences. But now, even in the darkness, he could see that the paint was peeling from the
woodwork on their doors and windows and that the handsome white facades were cracked and
blotchy from neglect
4.On the other hand, a pub would be more congenial than a boardinghouse. There would be beer and darts in the evenings, and lots of people to talk to, and it would probably be a good bit
congenial- on the other hand a pub would be more congenial than a boardinghouse.
