on the beginning of chapter 11 in TAA:
"If you've ever dressed up for Halloween or attended a masquerade, you know that there is a certain thrill to wearing a disquise-a thrill that is half excitement and half danger. I once attended one of the fame masked balls hosted by the duchess of Winnipeg, and it was one of the most exciting and dangerous evenings of my life. I was diguised as a bullfighter and slipped into the party while being pursued by palace guards, who were disguised as scorpions. The moment I entered the Great Ballroom, I felt as if Lemony Snicket had dissappeared. I was wearing clothes I had never worn before-a scarlet cape made of silk and a vest embroidered with gold thread and a skinny black mask-and it made me feel as if I were a different person. And because I felt like a different person, I dared to approach a woman I had been forbiden to approach for the rest of my life. She was alone on the veranda-the word veranda is a fancy term for a porch made of fancy gray marble-and costumed as a dragonfly, with a glittering green mask and enourmous silvery wings. As my pursuers scurried around the party, thrying to guess which guest was me, I slipped out to the veranda and gave her the message I'd been trying to give to her for fifteen long and lonely years. "Beatrice," I cried, just as the scorpions spotted me, "Count Olaf is "
Then it stops. What do you thing lemony was going to say next? wat dies this say about beatrice?
