I did a French test in which there was a girl who worked for a volunteer fire department.

Maybe it's just my over-fondness for puns, but I think the "red herring" thing is brilliant.
I hope the Sebald Code does make more appearances, it would put my instant alertness whenever I see the word "ring" to some use.

I've just been looking through the TE subforum to see if I can find anything on this, but I couldn't so apologies if it's been brought up before.
I haven't read the books in a long while, but I remember that near the end of The End, the Baudelaires were looking for something in the arboretum and there was discussion of a ring.
I tried to use the Sebald code to see if anything was hidden there but I never found anything and I was curious as to whether anyone had?

Thank you! (Nilly is to me what Lemony Snicket is to Daniel Handler. Shhhh...)

Barely (I'm an expat), I can just about count from 1-99, ask taxi/bus drivers to stop, and a little bit more. I can speak more Mandarin than Cantonese (though still not much, hahaha)

Hello, hello, hello I'm Nilly, I'm 16 and I live in Hong Kong. I must say, I feel rather comfortable here because I spent a lot of my youngerhood poring over ASOUE trying to figure it all out (by this, I mean a LOT).
I like comedy, reading, music, and sci-fi/fantasy, among other things. I am slightly (read: extremely) obsessed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and my hero is Joss Whedon.
So yes hi, it's rather nice to be here and realise that I'm not the only one. ;D
