flashback in the landlady

- Flash back is a literary device wherein the writer depicts the

occurrence of specific events to the reader, which have taken place

before the present time.

- Read this:

Billy glanced down at the book. "Look here," he said, noticing the

dates. "The last entry is over two years old ."

"It is?"

"Yes, indeed. And Christopher Mulholland's is nearly a year before

that ---- more than three years ago ."

************************************

- The author was purposefully depicting the events that happened

well before the present day.

- The book (Guests Register) was signed by two other boys years ago.
