At first when I saw her on TNN I thought at once that it was one of the powderfaced women.

That might be a possiblity. She's wearing the opera-goer disguise, maybe she is.
My fav. quote of all time in the books is in this one:
Count Olaf: ...there truly are no noble people."
Sunny: "Our parents!"
Kit Snicket taking up street racing???!!!! ;D

That was a good quote but it appears to be untrue...
Yes, that really bothered me, we had this whole host of illustrations and that reference to elevator cables and- what? Nothing related to either of those happened in the story...

or did they..."looks nervously around as creepy scifi music is played in the background"
I don't rememeber that quote, but I did like it how Lemony didn't leave it as good guys, bad guys in the end, like Jedi Master said the Baudelaire parent's nobility can be question... *the creepy scifi music is repeated*

Sudden thought: Maybe it was someone in DISGUISE as the Baudelaire parents? Dumb theory, I know. Please just don't slander me with flames.

Do you mean the people who apparently murdered Olaf's parents with poison darts? Actually, that is a possibility, although it sounds like Kit and Dewey at least thought it was them. I guess that would be some rare good news for the children, and it could sweeten a bitter end. Still, I prefer to think that they're murderers.

I'd be a little disappointed if the people who killed Olaf were imposters, rather than the Baudelaire parents. However, if those imposters were from the "noble" side of VFD, we'd still have some interesting moral ambiguity. Or maybe the murderers were against everyone connected to either side of VFD, and wanted to eliminate Olaf's parents while framing the Baudeliares.

I'm not so sure the Baudelaire parents mudered the Olaf parents. All we know is that they were given poison darts, and that Olaf's parents were killed by poison darts. We do not know the chronological order of those events, or whetehrt the dats changed hands multiple times, or anything else at all.

Yeah. I mean, they could have been receiving evidence from Kit after the murder.

I prefer to think that the Baudelaire parents killed Olaf's parents for a noble cause-they were murderers, but good murderers. They were chef's salads. And I think we'll see the Baudelaires follow in their footsteps, and realize that people do necessary evils, and possibly see that Olaf does such things.

Olaf does seem to be... less evil, I suppose this book around. Did you notice maybe a slight allusion to Olaf being nicer to the Baudelaires next book, with the fact he was impressed by how they got out of his traps? Hmm..

I have an inkling (a word which here means, "A slight understanding or vague idea or notion" rather than, "an infant ink child"). Didn't the orphan's father's name start with "B"? Yes it did, "Bertrand". And since Beatrice's last name is Baudelaire, (if you don't know what I'm talking about, go to www.angelfire.com/ga2/LoneWolf/SnickStuff/Anagrams.html ) her initials are B.B....
B.B., and B.B., the Baudelaire's parents?  Just a thought there. ;D

I don't want the Baud parents to have killed the Olafs, but I don't want imposters to have either. . .
P.S. 500 POST! And it only took me a year!

There seems to be an indication that Lemony was somehow involved in it too.
"...fired me from a job playing the accordian in his orchestra after only two and a half performances of a certain opera." (pg 126) The certain opera seems to imply that it was La Fora Del Destino and the fact that he was fired halfway through his third performances implies something very serious happened halfway through the performance, perhaps during intermission.

I need to note something important, that perhaps, others may have not, noticed.
At the end of page 333, Camelita/Esme is talking to Klaus, and he says he does not want to Argue any. And at the top/beginning of page 334, "And indeed the children never argued with either unpleasant female again." Does this mean that, they DIED in the (Carmelita/Esme), or they simply dissapear for Lemony's story, or The Baudelaire's chose to never argue with them, even if they were still in the next story?
The next thing to be noted is this:
At the end of page 334 and the beginning of page 335 Lemony says "And the Baudelaires were taken away from the Banker one LAST time." Does this mean he dies in the fire, or they just NEVER hear/see from him in the next book?
