Im starting to read this and from whta a read, it gives the story away-Here are my thories-
*The Baudelaires are being trained for VFD and they dont know it, but in the LSUA it says something along the lines of "They take the children from one place to the next, making them preform obstacles then reuniting them" or something... *The Sebald code...seriously NYMORE OBVIOUS?!?!??! It bascily says- bring me the orphnas a pearnet is still alive! But Uncle Monty doewsnt know the Sebald Code.

The Baudelaires are being trained for VFD and they dont know it, but in the LSUA it says something along the lines of "They take the children from one place to the next, making them preform obstacles then reuniting them" or something... A small but crucial mistake. It actually says that they do stuff like that until V.F.D. is sure that nobody is searching for the children anymore, and then they can be reintroduced to society. There's been threads on this, in which it was generally agreed that if the whole series was the Baudelaires being trained for V.F.D., then that would be an incredibly cruel and monstrous thing for V.F.D. to do - killing people, committing crimes, making the Baudelaires think their parents were dead and nobody loved them, etc. So it's probably not true. By the end of the series, however, I believe that V.F.D. will acknowledge that the Baudelaires have inadvertently gone through the sorts of things they would do if they were being officially trained rather than just trying to survive, and they will be allowed to become volunteers just like that. Again, speculated on. Others believe that the survivor in the snowman is Quigley, despite the blatantly obvious chronological inconsitencies there that even Handler can't ignore, plus the fact that Quigley would probably have mentioned it. And it doesn't really give the whole story away - just half the story. Once all the books are out, it will all make sense.

I imagine being trapped in a snowman is not an everyday occurence.

I disagree that it gives everything away. It does reveal much about the baudelaires but they don't interest me personally. I really am interested in VFD and we don't even know exactly what it does.

I really am interested in VFD and we don't even know exactly what it does. But we do basicly know what they do. Initially, they were simply fire fighters. Then they took on various formidable deeds, constantly helping...until the SChism... *roaring symphonies playing rapidly in the background*

I disgaree with you on the matter. It's not as though some one is judging Olaf and making him perform tasks like the Bauds, and why would he need to code his letter?
Secondly, we know that unless Count Olaf is put in jail or somehow comes to his end (like Dr.Orwell) They cannot be re-introduced to society, and even if there parents are alive and Mr. Poe is a VFD man sending them to all of these places... They are still known as murderers in the real world.

I think the only way they can redeem themselves in socieety is to clear there names. And I think Hector could help there, and, if they do join VFD, they could just disguise themselves.

"Moving quickly and lightly; lively.
Restlessly active or nervous; restive.
Undependably variable; mercurial or fickle.
Shy; bashful."
Which of these meanings do you mean?

Maybe it's part of the acting in a VFD disguise.

Maybe so. Then the only way they can come into a reasonable society that isn't prison, is if they complete VFD training, get rid of Count Olaf and disguise themselves well, unless there parents are alive and that's the training.
