Before I read TSS, I read somewhere that the man who married Beatrice (this was before we knew Beatrice was the Baudelaires' mother) killed her. So I think that since Olaf in TE said he didn't burn down their mansion, that Bertrand (Mr. Baudelaire) did it. I believe that Bertrand, Olaf, and Mr. Poe were in league with each other against Beatrice. Bertrand found out that Lemony loved Beatrice, so he made him jealous by marrying her. After he came up with a plan some years later, he and Beatrice let the children out to play on Briny Beach. Then he called Mr. Poe and told him his plan. So Bertrand locked Beatrice in a room and burned down the house with him inside so it would appear that someone had murdered them both. Then Mr. Poe came to retrieve the children at Briny Beach and took them to Olaf's house. That's what I believe happened. Discuss.

First, I should note that I don't recall any statement in the books that the man who married Beatrice killed her; also, that in The End, Olaf neither confirmed nor denied that he burnt down the mansion - he might have done it, might not; we don't know. As regards your theory, I just want to ask what Bertrand's precise motives were for fourteen, fifteen years of a sham marriage culminating in a murder-suicide; I'm a little unclear on that point.
