Roald Dahl The Landlady

a bit of all right enjoyable

alas sadly

big shot important person

blotchy uneven marks

brisk quick, efficient

choosy not easily pleased

dainty delicate

dither unable to decide (what to do)

dotty crazy

frisky lively

fuss paying a lot of attention to

hearth place in a room where a fire is put

kippers a smoked fish

landing place where stairs meet in a house

off her rocker crazy

pane single piece of glass in a window

plump soft

pop jump out suddenly

pop in enter quickly, without cermony

porch covered entrance of exterior door

rim edge, side

rings a bell sounds familiar

sip drink slowly, delicately

swamp overwhelm; too much of something

swanky expensive and snobbish

teeny weeny extremely little

trot walk quickly

undergraduate University student studying for first degree

whiff slight smell

on the off-chance by luck
