If you have just stopped at this web
page, then it is not too late to click
away. Like the previous books in A
Series of Unfortunate Events, there is
nothing to be found in these pages but
misery, despair, and discomfort, and you
still have time to choose something else
to read.
Within the chapters of this story,
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire
encounter a darkened staircase, a red
herring, some friends in a dire situation,
three mysterious initials, a liar with an
evil scheme, a secret passageway, and
parsley soda.
I have sworn to write down these tales
of the Baudelaire orphans so the general
public will know each terrible thing that
has happened to them, but if you decide to
read something else instead, you will save
yourself from a heapful of horror and
woe.
with all due respect,
