Felti585 Is it just me, or did it seem that Charles and Sir are a little more than "business" partners. Omg, you are so not the only one who thinks that! I've been think about that for the past few days, and I'm like "Aww!" throughout the whole "partner" thing. I think its cute! whee

Um....yeah.
*Takes a deep breath*
Okay, am I the only person here who thinks that Beatrice was THE Mrs. Baudelaire? Because Lemony's always talking about how she couldn't marry him, but did she ever say WHY? No. No she didn't. And doesn't it also strike you as odd that Beatirce died in a fire in her home, just as Mrs. Baudelaire did? *Hint, hint* Yeah, but, this is only my opinion. Just saying.
And since when is wearing green edibles "in"? Um...ew. eek xp

And since when is wearing green edibles "in"? Um...ew. eek xp From The Grim Grotto, page 310-one word on 311 "...and he was wrong to insist, as he did so many years ago, that a story in The Daily Punctilio was completely true, and to show this article to so many volunteers, including [emphasis mine] the Baudelaire parents, the Snicket siblings, and the woman I happened to love.On a different note, I found a plot hole! It says that the Baudelaires knew Geraldine Julienne from their experiences (which they did), and Mr. Poe mentions it offhand on the beach, but how did they know who she was? It says they knew Geraldinen from their travels. But they didn't. Can someone give me a way of disproving this?

Charles is my favorite character. I'm hoping he didn't die in the fire, so we'll see him again in Book 13. I doubt it though...
I'm very curious about who did and didn't make it out alive. It seems Esme and Carmelita didn't. I'm not convinced we've seen the last of Justice Strauss though.

Can someone give me a way of disproving this? sorry, but geraldine has a recognizable way of taking a situation and phrasing it into a headline, which from my memory is recognizable in the the vile village, hostile hospital, and carnivorous carnival. If i had the books I would cite sources... edit - however i don't think they connect a name with the reporter until book 12.

I was really sad that Quigley wasn't in the twelth. I like him as a character not only because he provides an excellent pairing for Violet (in my opinion) but also because he is so much more like an actual volunteer than any of the Baudelaires, and he seems so independent, moreso than his siblings.
I LOVED the thing with the whole hotel being organized by Dewey Decimals. My mom is a librarian, so she's showing it to her librarian buddies! BUT WHY DID DEWEY HAVE TO DIE?!?! It was almost as bad as Uncle Monty's death!
On a similar note, I wish Kit had been in it more than only a few chapters. Was it Dewey's child that she was pregnant with? Why was her name Dewey's last word?

I mean, they don't hear Geraldine's name until an offhand comment by Mr. Poe about her being a reporter, but come on, there's got to be a million reporters out there, how'd they know. I'm telling you, plot hole.

I immediatly noticed the sebald code on pg. 67 but I'm horrible at figuring out what they say... did anyone happen to decode it?
I think it's pretty defenitey that Dewey was the father of Kit's baby.. It says that she was going further from the man she loved, he left behind the women he loved, etc. I'm glad they left behind both J.S. 's ..they were acting way too niave and didn't seem to know what they were doing.

Snickler Also, on a semi-related note; What is up with the pictures of the woman drilling into the wall near the elevator, the cable breaking, and the man on it? I didnt see any relation what so ever to the book in that! There's a very tiny part where that's mentioned.. in like a couple sentences. I'll try and find the exact quote.

ihsoyt paradoxical I immediatly noticed the sebald code on pg. 67 but I'm horrible at figuring out what they say... did anyone happen to decode it? Either that's Frank using in to mean "a member of our select group" or Ernest using in to mean "leading a life of villainy, which I find quite fashionable."

Either that's Frank using in to mean "a member of our select group" or Ernest using in to mean "leading a life of villainy, which I find quite fashionable." My guess would be Ernest since it's the villains who are around Esme more often, and so would probably use the word "in" to mean fashionable more often.

My guess would be Ernest since it's the villains who are around Esme more often, and so would probably use the word "in" to mean fashionable more often. Maybe, but consider that if you're part of a secret club, or want to be, to be accepted is to be "in", as in in the club, i.e. You're in.

Here is the quote from the book:
"Ring," cried either Ernest or Frank, "Ring! I shouldn't have to tell you the bell's your signal. We can't keep our guests waiting for even an instant. You can tell which guest is ringing by the number on the bell. If the number written on the bell was 469, for example, you would know that one of our Portugeuease guests required assistance..."
There's more, but I'm too lazy to copy it all down. Just so people know how it works.
I checked the Autobiography. The Sebald Code goes by every ELEVENTH word, with ten word in between. I was having some trouble finding out where the message was...

Also, when he says 'I can't tell if you are in', he could mean 'I can't tell if you are in with our plans', so he could be Frank, anyways. How confusing!
