I think so, too! To me, it doesn't really matter which is older. I just like them to be close to the same age. Perhaps, it's because I have a thing for "high school sweethearts". In some cases, I also like the idea of opposite gender best friends becoming a romantic couple - and then getting married.

Yes to Klaus and Isadora. Jerome Jacques Squalor has a lovely ring to it. Like Emma Esmelita Squalor. When I first decided to pair Carmelita with Nero, I had no idea what people's reaction would be. My main concern was that everyone would think it was gross. I think it was mentioned in "The Beatrice Letters" that there is a two-year age difference between Lemony and Beatrice (he was older and she was younger). I'll have to double check that. I love the older man-younger woman relationships. I can't explain why I like it, either, just that I think it's cute. But, as I've said before, my only exception is Esme/Jerome (I imagine him to be two years older than she).

We'll have to double check, I guess. Lemony was ten, though - when he wrote that invite to Beatrice. I guess I got the idea that Beatrice was older, and didn't like to be seen hanging around a young boy. Thus, the comment about "embarrassing Beatrice in front of her friends".
The other thing is, I guess I decided to have Lemony born in 1945 - as that would put him exactly 25 years before Daniel Handler was born in the real world.

Okay, I just checked and apparently I was a year off on the age difference. TBL says that Lemony is 11 and Beatrice is 10. Lemony did seem to be younger with the line about embarrassing Beatrice in front of her friends. Man, that's so cute, though!

Okay, I'll have to think of what to do! I think it was in The Big News that I mention Beatrice's age. If Lemony is born in 1945, and Beatrice is born in 1946 - that would make Beatrice 33 in 1979. I guess that won't be too tough to change.

Yes, I think you're right. *laughs* I thought it was funny in "The Big News" the way Violet and Klaus reacted to their mother's pregnancy just because of her age. It seems I'm always doing little changes like that in my fics. In my first ASoUE fic, "The Terrible Truth" I had Esme and Jerome meet when they were still in high school before I read about their meeting at the Veritable French Diner in "Lemony Snicket: the Unauthorized Biography". But TTT was my first ASoUE fic, so I just decided to leave it as is.

*Grins* What's The Big News? I can assume that it's a fan fiction, and that the actual news is that Beatrice is pregnant. Am I correct in this assumption?
