"I want to steal from you the way Beatrice stole from me."
Esme says this on p188 of the Ersatz Elevator
I was wondering if anyone had any theories on this.
Did Beatrice help Olaf steal Esme's fortune by pushing her down an empty elevator shaft?
Seems unlikely....

The most common theory on this is that Esmé thinks Beatrice stole the sugar bowl from her when they met for tea, whereas in fact it was Lemony who took it. The connection between Beatrice and the Baudelaires is currently unknown, despite what anyone may tell you about Beatrice being their mother.

Try reading some of the posts before posting your own theories. That always helps.Chances are whatever you think you've discovered has already been talked to death. Meh.

If you want to check if there's been a thread about this before, use the "search" tool. It's the third button to the left on the top of your screen. |

The Search is kinda... useless, in my opinion. So far, it hasn't helped me once. But meh. Your best bet is to just read a few threads.
