I believe we shall witness Beatrice's death in book 13. In almost EVERY single dedication, he mentions how she is dead. So that is what he could mean with the its obvious. Second on the list is the baudelaire mom thing. Also, I kinda though the next book would be in the air, since that quote from TGG about spending time in the air. Maybe the hotel is a huge blimp, or maybe its INCREDIBLY tall. Meh. I kind of find it hard to believe that they will spend the entire time in a hotel. Seems kinda tame. I mean, look, they spend their time in a hospital, which burns, a carival as freaks, which burns, a mountains side... which also kinda burns, and now a submarine, which gets eaten by a giant mechanical octopus. And now a hotel? I can't imagine what could happen there. Unless Olaf turns up in another disguise again... How many bets that Hotel D will burn? That is a good idea, if it is really tall then the self-containing hot-air balloon maybe could crash into it??? or land on it or they could get really close and jump off it |

You're God now. Bruce came back in TSS, and I can't help but wonder if it's meant to say "tenth book" He did? I must have missed that... Where in the slippery slope? |

A: Uncle Bruce was Carmelita's uncle, but apparently no one else's. Still, everyone else called him an uncle affectionately.
C: I think someone may well return in the 12th book. Perhaps there's a pattern: a character from the second book comes back in the tenth, and one from the fourth book in the eleventh.
A: So in book 12, we might see Jerome, suffering some sort of injustice due to his initials, which lead people to mistake him for Jacques Snicket, or someone different entirely.
C: And maybe there will be a minor character from THH in book 13. Like that bearded volunteer, or the shopkeeper.

I doubt we'll see jerome of all people in 12. But I do think the hotel is quite tall (it was referred to as enormous in tgg) and that the bauds might just be able to climb a new ladder into the sshamh from the hotel's roof(the roof will be burning of course do you really think VFD can save even one of its sanctuaries from Olaf? Of course not!)

You know, the hook-handed man being Fernald and his sister being Fiona? Remember? It was a pretty central part of TGG? I think you need some sleep. Or needed it, anyway. Ohhhh....*feels stupid* I knew that. I believe I was quite tired, yes, when I wrote that. |

Oddly enough, the hook-handed man addresses Bruce as"Uncle Bruce" on p. 309 of TSS, even though only Carmelita has called him that during the conversation on the mountain top. It makes me think that Fernald knows Uncle Bruce, or the customs of the scouts. Maybe Fernald was once a snow scout. |

Or maybe Bruce is Fernald and Fiona's uncle, and that they are relatives of the Spats. |

I'm thinking that Fernald at that moment just wanted to look affectionate and innocent and calling him uncle bruce like carmelita was a way to look pleasant and thus to lure all the snow scouts into the trap. |

I'm glad I somehow missed that conversation... Are you talking about my forgetfulness? Bruce being Fiona and Fernald's uncle? Because they were calling him Uncle Bruce? Everyone calls him Uncle Bruce. It's his term. Somewhat like "Prince Charles" or "Count Olaf" or calls a family friend "Uncle", even though they are not their real uncle. It's similar to the Volunteers Fighting Disease calling everyone "brother" and "sister" |

I have a bit of an insane thoreyIf Bruce came back (and he was a minor character, back then) from the second book, and in the WW, Larry the Waiter (also a minor character) was a member, like Bruce (a therory, now confirmed, by the quiet world editorals), maybe he can come back? the only problem, with this, is that in TCC, no 1 from the first book came back. (no use calling me stupid. . . i already know that!!!!!)
