Hey everyone! I have some info on book the 13th or anything after, but not the names. Here: -Two evil characters will be introduced:Quisling and Gorgon. -The Baudelaire orphans retutrn to Briny beach in book 13, but the reason was never stated. -the parents may in fact still be alive, even if Quigley did survive. Thanks to the rare edition of THE BAD BEGINNING for this info. It seems like Im the only one who got it on all the other boards in other places. Maybe its because Im so obsessed. Whatever. Go to my site to see the nice portrait that came with TBB rare: www.freewebs.com/quigley/ |

I dont think I would ahve ever seen that coming. Maybe Gorgon is a person who deals with snakes?
And we can think of Quisling as a traitor sort of character. Great research!

maybe the gorgon & quisling could be the man with a baeard but no hair & the woman with hair but no beard
*when i first saw 'quisling' i thought it was quigley misspelled, would DH indroduce 2 similar named characters?*

I think the lumber mill is intact. There was, of course, the horrible accident / attempted murder / self-defense killing there, but the mill itself was not harmed that I recall.

LSTUA p. 75
"The archives of The Daily Punctilio ... have been destroyed."
"... the archives of The Daily Punctilio were merely stacked in large towers along a street in a small town near the Finite Forest."
TMM p. 11
"Alongside the sidewalk, where a row of trees might have been, were towering stacks of old newspapers instead."

I understand what your saying, but I have a whole theory on the whole series. And it all rather adds up. I think that the Baudealires are VFD in training, adn that everyone is in on it. And in case you havent noticed, all of the other VFD have seemed to go through alot of bad situations, or as far as we know, anyway.
And I was rethinking the Gorgon and Quisling thing, and something came to mind. I noticed in book 10 that one of the bad guys metioned that they had all of the VFD reptiles except for one (which I am going to guess is the incredibly deadly viper), adn maybe later on, Gorgon will be the one to use the snakes, what with all the medusa stuff. Maybe it was a reference, but I can only imagine. im just theorizing.

Yeah, the poison plant and the credit card.
In the Sherlock Holmes stories, Dr. Watson would write a few introductory paragraphs about what was going on in the life of Sherlock Holmes at the time a new case arose. He might mention some of the other cases they had recently taken in hand, but he never expounded on them past the intriguing titles. So we never found out about the Giant Rat of Sumatra; the Politician, the Lighthouse, and the Trained Cormorant; nor the Arrest of Wilson, the Notorious Canary-Trainer.
Be prepared to be left in suspense by Lemony Snicket.

Quigley revealed himself on page 156, where he declares himself to be the survivor of the fire. From page 159 through page 174 he describes his life from the fire that destroyed the Quagmire home through his climb of Mount Fraught with the Snow Scouts. Violet and Klaus tell Quigley what they know of Duncan and Isadora's whereabouts in the next couple of pages.
I cannot locate within that or after that any reference to the telegram set in THH or the telephone call made in TCC. Therefore, I do not believe that Quigley knew of the whereabouts of the Baudelaires after their departure from Paltryville (even though he knew his own siblings had gone to Prufrock Prep for a while, he makes no mention of knowing that the Bauds were there).

I do recall that Justice Strauss was talking about the confidential case she had recently worked on.

I know... Quigley is holding something from us, he's not teling us something, he has to be. He can't just know the telegram didn't arrive and nothing else, can he?

i always thought quigley wasn't being completly truthful about his stories.
oh about the one reptile- i think it is either the IDV or the maumba du mal because of its communications skills.
bruce could know what 'one reptile' would be becasue didn't olaf steal/buy/trick bruce into getting him the snake? bruce did remove the reptiles from uncle montys.
Where did the rest of the reptiles go?
