Nobody in their right mind would read this
particular book about the lives of Violet,
Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose,
because each dismal moment of their stay
in the village of V.F.D. has been
faithfully and dreadfully recorded in
these pages.
I can think of no single reason why
anyone would want to open a book
containing such unpleasant matters as
migrating crows, an angry mob, a newspaper
headline, the arrest of innocent people,
the Deluxe Cell, and some very strange
hats.
It is my solemn and sacred occupation
to research each detail of the Baudelaire
children's lives and write them all down,
but you may prefer to do some other solemn
and sacred thing, such as reading another
book instead.
with all due respect,
