Like Mr Poe?

Yes, like Mr. Poe, although I'm pretty convinced that it's a red herring that his outfit apparently matches the opera-goer disguise. |

It's unlikely, but top-hat could be Kevin, to back up my freaks theory.
I think we'll get a new, different task tomorrow that we've never had before.

I don't think the "You know the title. I'm so, so sorry" was a reference to the leak. I think it was a reference to the sentence at the bottom. IF we didn't know what the title was, if we were quick thinking we could work it out from this task. So come on guys and girls who didn't peek at the spoilers. Translate the sentence today into something more literal. Get out your thesaruses.  And I think THAT'S what The Editor meant by we know the title. It's so easy to get it from that sentence. I've also had a thought. Perhaps all these people in the lobby are there to see Nero perform his recital. |

Possible, I suppose, although that - is he really that popular? Maybe he is. Maybe there's a lot of people who'll just look at a poster saying, I don't know, "Recital by Genius Violinist Nero" and decide to attend. Or maybe he just happens to be doing a recital there while a lot of people are also there. I mean, it could be a very busy hotel. But basically, what I'm trying to say is, that's a very interesting idea. |

Antenora, that man reminds me of an illustration I saw of Sherlock Holmes.

Yeah, or Nero could have invited these people to the recital. They could have some sort of connection to VFD, or even to Prufock.

He's subtly different from Fernald, though. He's older, and has different hair. I can see the resemblance, though. Maybe it's the real father of Fernald and Fiona. [/far-fetched] . That's a good possibility. Since Fiona doesn't look that much like Fernald, we can assume she takes after her mother. It's been implied that Nero played the violin at VFD concerts. The Baudelaire parents once attended a concert and said that there was nothing worse than someone who can't play the violin but does so anyway. |

I have the e-mail address for the head web-site guy at H-C (I don't think that's his official title, though.) When TNN.com is all done, we should send our compliments to him. Anyone who wants to, feel free to PM me for the address.

If any of the Nameless Novel people are reading this, thanks for fixing that error. And thanks, Gigi, for notifying them.
I think tomorrow's task will be interestingly complex in some way. Even if it's a relatively simple Vocabulary, I'll scrutinize it closely for clues.
