Lucky Smells Lumbermill is hardly the perfect environment to raise three children, right? But, in defence of Sir (as surely these threads are supposed to be?) He is not evil. Sure, Three children? Yeah, they can come stay at my lumbermill. I'll give them food, wages, beds to sleep in, plus there's a good optometrist in town! You can't really fault his logic, except... second hand smoke. If the Baudelaire's develop lung cancer later in their lives then the blame must surely be placed at Sir's fault.

I suppose that what you can say for Sir is that he wasn't scheming to get the Baudelaires' fortune. He's no Olaf, he's no Esmé, he didn't even plan to burn them at the stake. He's just a man who has absolutely no conception of how to treat another human being.

Pros:
He gave the Baudelaires a place to live.
He gave the children enough food to survive.
He taught them how to be hard workers.
He saved Sunny from being sliced by Dr. Orwell.
Cons:
The children really were not receiving proper nourishment. They should have been getting breakfast and lunch.
He almost gave them away to Shirley, and he thought Shirley was a nice lady. Yikes.
He did not really understand Klaus was hypnotized and Dr. Orwell was evil.
Agreed on the second hand smoke! And the not knowing how to treat people. But Sir could have been a lot worse.
