learning English

I meet with a high school girl every week for an english lesson. She's preparing to take an intense intermediate course for English in November. She has to be prepared to talk on 26 different topics and she's not sure which one they will pick. As I'm correcting one of her essays on housing/living arrangements, two new English words appear. I've never heard or used either - masionette and larder. Before you look up their meanings, have you heard of these words? Can you guess what they mean?
