When Billy saw the stuffed pets and as the narrator told us about it, it had became a big hint what might happen to Billy. The landlady said she always stuff her little pets whenever they passes away. What might she do when a handsome gentleman her beautiful house had attracted had passed away? Stuff him or them, too? Maybe. It's seriously NOT normal for any human to stuff their pet animal anytime, whether they are alive or dead! Billy might be one of the Landlady's "stuffed gentlemen" before he could leave.
This kind of writing of hinting the future of the story is "foreshadowing." This kind of writing is usually used in horror stories, because it can builds up suspense. Suspense makes the stories more enthusiastic.
