Yeh, It's got to be. How could it not be?

The "some truth" could be because Beatrice is technically the Baudelaires' daughter (aswell as their mother). That sounds really wierd when said like that. But either way, well done, Jacques.

That tgg quote does cause confusion. Everyone insisted my theory was absolutely dead after that but I stubbornly insisted just as strongly that Handler was trying to trick us. Was he, or is there something more to that inconsistency?

Was he, or is there something more to that inconsistency? Before TBL, I thought that Handler had originally intended Beatrice to be the Baudelaire mother when he started writing the books, but then changed his mind sometime before THH/U.A. because he had expanded plot ideas and new thoughts on where things were going to go. I guess how things would work out would either mean he changed his mind again after TGG (not implausible, given how citations for bravery up in the air never came in) or he just laid a lot of red herrings (in THH and the U.A., the red herrings themselves would actually be Ned H. Rirger, a.k.a. Red Herring, which would make a strange kind of sense).

That was another thing I used to say. Red herrings on the red herrings themselves, and so beatrice was Mrs. baudelaire. And it actually seems to have made something approaching sense.
