Series of Unfortunate Events, A Easter Egg - Hidden Hint to Next Book

In any of the A Series of Unfortunate Events books, there is a picture at the end of the book. Look carefully, there will be a hint as to what the next book will be hidden in it! For example, in the 1st book, there is a snake curling around a lightpole near the bottom-right of the picture.

The next book, The Reptile Room, involves snakes. The only one that is hard to link a connection to is the picture in the 5th book (the fish bumper sticer) the lady dresses up a a fish, but you should be able to find it pretty soon. These sometimes take a few seconds to see, but they aren't imposssible to find.

I have the 9th book, and the tenth book is called "The Slippery Slope". I looked in the back of the book at the last picture and I saw a million "skiiers guides". Also, In the beginning of most books, in the opening picture, thy ave a reference to the last book that was released. Just some facts!

For the fourth book and the "hidden hint", it isn't very hard to spot. One of the VERY obvious things is the school bus you can see and this one is pretty cool. If you pay attention to the fence you can see that it is not a wooden fence but it is made of pencils. Well I hope that helped.

Ever notice that Sunny's babbling sometimes mean something? Once, she says 'denada' to mean, 'no problem,' which, if I'm not mistaken, means just that in Italian. In another, she says 'Orlando' to describle Olaf's hermaphradite henchperson. Orlando is a book about a man who changes from a man to a woman.

I don't know if this is just a coincidence or what, but in the back of book 5 "the Austere Academy" there is a fish on the bumper of the car that the two Quagmire triplets are being pushed into. In the front of book 6 "the Ersatz Elevator" there is a similar fish on the street sign that the Baudelaire children are standing by.

Erm... Excuse me? But the person named "none" who posted a comment about a fish in the 5th book, that fish is supposed to be a herring, a red herring. This red herring is actually a refrence to the big statue of a Red Herring that the quagmire triplets were hidden in. This also reffers to the "hidden hint" to the next book. Also, for those of you who want to know, A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, a movie, is coming out in December 17 starring Jim Carrey as Count Olaf!

For the record, I believe that Beatrice is Mrs. Baudelaire. In one of the books, I forget which one exactly, Snicket, while talking about the horrible things that he has seen, says that he has seen a woman he loved "flown to a high mountain nest by a giant eagle" or something like that. Also, in book the sixth, Jerome says that the Baudelaire's mother once climbed Mount Fraught, and he says that "All of the sudden, a giant bird swooped down and..." before he is interrupted by Esme. If the woman that Snicket says he loved above is Beatrice, then Beatrice is the Baudelaire's mother!

(8.158) Thanks to Julia, the Goldfish *Book 3: page 126 I [Lemony Snicket] have seen a woman I loved picked up by an enormous eagle and flown to its high mountain nest. *Book 4: Dedication My love flew like a butterfly/Until death swooped down like a bat... *Book 6: page 26 "Ah!" Jerome said. "You're [Violet] adventurous! . . . Your mother was adventurous, too. . . . We hiked up Mount Fraught with some friends--gosh, it must have been twenty years ago. Mount Fraught was known for having dangerous animals on it, but your mother wasn't afraid. But then, swooping out of the sky--" *All of these clues lead up to the prediction that Beatrice is/was Mrs. Baudelaire. see wat else you can find out

The hidden hint at the back of the Grim Grotto is extremely difficult to find. If you look on the right near the city, there is something that looks like a leaf. It is not a leaf. It was the self-sustaining hot air mobile home the Quagmires are in.

I thought that Beatrice might be the Baudelaire's mother, but if she is, why is it that when Esme pushes the Baudelaire's down the elevator shaft (Ersatz Elevator) and she says something like "I want to steal from you like Beatrice stole from me!" there is no recognition by the orphans of the name? I think it's more likely that Beatrice actually married Count Olaf (which explains how Beatrice "stole" from Esme), how Beatrice married someone other than Lemony, and why Lemony tries to warn Beatrice (I don't remember where) "Count Olaf is really..." Thoughts?

DIid you ever consider the fact that Count Olaf could be Lemony Snicket? If Beatrice was the Baldulaire's mother(which someone mentioned earlier)than that means that Count Olaf was either married to Beatrice or liked her very much, but then lost her.(Seeing that the fact that Lemony Snicket and Count Olaf are the same person). If L.S./C.O. was married to Beatrice, than Count Olaf has the right to take the Bauldulaire foutune, it is his money. One point though, if Count Olaf was the orphand's father, then wouldn't the orphans recognize him? Or was Count Olaf in another one of his disguises? Thanks!

Lemony snicket real name is Dan Handler and the 12th book is out 18th october no name or such at the moment pics & name expected July (around harry potter relaese) I was also dumb enough to believe that the 12th book was the omnious omnibus IT IS NOT its the first 3 books as somone already mentioned . I dunno what you are fighting about with the herring but its pointless. I think beatrice IS their mother it makes sense the most appealing evidence being the statment by Esme about baetrice as she throws them down the elevator and i think the last book is the vicious victory or the frightening finish something like that.

For what it's worth, I am 99.9% sure that Beatrice is Mrs. Baudelaire because in Mr. Snicket's autobiography he lets slip that Beatrice could whistle Mozart's 14th symphony and Violet tells Aunt Josephine that her mother could do that. It may just be coincidence but in Lemony Snicket's world -- I doubt it! And, there are all the other clues as well!

I am sure that Beatrice is the Baudelaire orphans' mother, in other words, Mrs. Baudelaire. I am 100%sure that she is. Because on Book 3, Lemony Snicket writes: I have seen a woman I loved picked up by an enormous eagle and flown to its high mountain nest. On the 4th book, Lemony Snicket writes: My love flew like a butterfly, until death swooped down like a bat... On the 6th book, Jereme says, "Your mother was adventurous, too. . . . We hiked up Mount Fraught with some friends--gosh, it must have been twenty years ago. Mount Fraught was known for having dangerous animals on it, but your mother wasn't afraid. But then, swooping out of the sky--" So if you stick them together, It'll say; Until death dropped down like a bat, swooping out of the sky, the woman I loved was picked up by an enormous eagle and flown to its high mountain nest. Which makes sense that it is Beatrice Baudelaire.

Well I was readying all the comments and some of you seem to not know some basic things from the book. Like one kid was asking what VFD means, and another said that it meant Volunteer Fire Department. While it does mean that it is also used in every aspect of this book. This club/organization incorporated it into every tad bit of their existence. Ponder this, in the Slippery Slope they use the words Vertical Flame Diversion, VFD. And in another they use Volunteer Feline Detectives, VFD. Did you also notice that every book's title has the same letters that start the main words? Bad Beginning, Vile Village, Grime Grotto. Also at the End of Grime Grotto it says that the orphans have broken their cycle of unfortunate events for the first time. Is this a sign of a better life for the children? Next books title…Heinous Hotel? Also in the last picture in Grime Grotto you can see the blimp could this be the Quagmires mobile home and will the Bodilares meet up with them?

I'm not so sure about this, but I think Count Olaf might be Lemony's brother because in one book [I'm not so sure which] one but it said that lemony had a tatoo of a eye on his ankle like Count Olaf.And in the seventh book [when JaQues Snickit shows up]they say that it's Count Olaf's brother.And JaQues's last name is the same as lemony's,so that might mean that they are brothers,and if JaQues and Olaf are brothers then that might mean that Olaf and Lemony are brothers.

I think that there are two different V.F.D.'s one is the organization,the other V.F.D. is Count Olaf's plan,which I think is Victorious Finance District because finance has something to do with money,and Count Olaf think's it's Victorious[I olso think that because I found it in the autobiography].

Ok, for all those that are confused, let me clear it up. Some people are saying that Mr. Poe's boys are named Edgar and Allan. Mr. Poe DOES have a boy named Edgar, but he does NOT have a boy named Allan, the boy's name is Albert. For those that don't believe here's the proof right out of the book: p.13,'And the two Poe children-Edgar and Albert-were loud and obnoxious boys with whom the Baudelaires had to share a tiny room that smelled of some sort of ghastly flower.' p.16,'"Well," Mrs. Poe said, "you three had better start packing. Edgar, Albert, please help me clear the table."'

If Beatrice is the baudelaire's mother than Lemony would be their father and if Lemony is their dad then why dedacate his life to the baudelaire mystery if he already knows so much about them?So chance's are that she might not be their mother.

Some things: 1) ness for once I agree with you. The site you wrote is interesting. However you spelt it wrong. It is www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/authors/Daniel_Handler.htm (you forgot the c in fantastic) 2) I very much doubt that book the twelveth will be have the words Guesthouse or Hotel in it. Think about it. Snicket/Handler has never repeated the same letter in the illiteration of his book titles. He has already used the letter H (Hostile hospital) and G (Grim grotto) 3) In book ten don't a man and a woman get taken to Mount Fraught by eagle? From what I'm hearing it must be Beatrice. If it is her she would seem to be in league with Olaf. 4) Has anyone else heard Lemony play the accordion? Pretty good stuff...

Braydenizer writes:
I think that the number twelve will take place at the Hotel Denouement, because Snicket uses Hotel Denouement stationary. In all the other books, the letter to the editor at the end is from somewhere the Baudelairs go in the next book. For example, in book seven he uses a telegram from the Last Chance Store. The Baudelairs go there in the beginning of the eighth book. Also, in the picture at the end of number 11, it shows a hat that says Hotel D, which most likely says Hotel Denouement.

Hi! I'm new to this, but I found something interesting I thought I might share. I don't know if any of you have looked up the word "denouement," (the last safe place is the Hotel Denoument) but that word means (according to my Webster's electronic pocket dictionary) "the final outcome of the dramatic complications in a literary work." We should read between the lines if we want to figure out this series.

lemony007 writes:
I don't know if this will help, but I think that lemony snicket is the baudelaires uncle because in the 10th book,lemony writes a letter to his sister (page 100), and he talks about a salad that she made (page 101). On page 112, it says that Sunny remembers back at the mansion, that her mom was making a salad and it says that she used the exact same ingredients as lemony was talking about in the letter to his sister which i think is Mrs. Baudelaire. So that means that beatrice isn't his sister because you can't marry a family member of yours. Also, in the unauthorized biography, there is a secret message on pages 84-85. Look after ringing and hello is underlined. read the rest of the underlined words in order and it will say, "Hello. If you are alive, do not come here. The Count will burn you and Beatrice. Stay away." I then figured out there was another message on pages 87-88. You have to start at the 2nd paragraph and every 11 words, there is another word to the message (same as to the one to Lemony on pages 84-85). It says, " Enclosed is our Cafe sugar. Here some we to certificate apartment an after hope". The last sentence is weird, but it probably means something.

"De nada" in Spanish means "your welcome." One could also say "por nada," it means the same thing, it's just a different dialect of Spanish. Also, did anyone notice that in book the 10th Sunny said "Rosebud" when talking about the sled. "Rosebud" was the name of the sled in CITIZEN KANE.

its impossible for beatrice to be the baudelaire's mother! assuming that beatrice did die from the eagle, (you are never told if this happens, it is only implied)there is NO WAY beatrice is the baudelaires mother, who died from the FIRE (anyone forget? thats why they are orphans) probably much later. And it doesnt even sound like the mother got killed from this eagle- just that she was brave when it swooped down. Also, the baudelaire parents are seen as good people, and lemony lost beatrice tragically, if a man stole her from him, it would be someone on the wrong side of the schism- and i think there is somwhere it implies that count olaf was the one who stole her from him before she died

Did anyone ever think that lemony snicket could be the baudelaire orphan's father???? he could be if he was in hiding and he was watching over them but couldn't help them and everyone would think he was dead. Also lemony snicket could change his name in the book, too, meaning the since daniel handler changed his name to lemony snicket when he wrote the book, how do we know that his name in the book wasn't ___ Baudelaire until he changed it to lemony snicket while writing about them. He could have done that because how would someone else be able to even write the series of unfortunate events without a close view of what was happening and lemony snicket could be Mr. Baudelaire in the book because he could have that close view if he was in hiding after VFD headquarters was burned down(I believe when the Baudelaire Mansion was burned down they escaped and hid at VFD headquarters.)because they wouldn't be able to stay there any longer.

The 12th book will not be the horrible hotel. Snicket/Handler already used the letter H for the Hostile Hospital. I believe that it will somehow take place at hotel denoument/ the last safe place, and maybe for once the baudelaires will have a happy life (according to what i said before...) the baudelaire parents could still be alive. They could have the sugar bowl, or were hiding the sugar bowl, and never died in the fire because they exited through a secret passage, just like Quigley Quagmire. The unfortunate things could be happening to them not only because Count Olaf knows they have money and fortune. He might know that they have the sugar bowl. (These are all only my guesses, just like most of the rest of you. They could be wrong)

Beatrice is DEFINITELY NOT the Baud's Mom. This is because the Baudelaire parents got killed in the fire in the MORNING, and somewhere, (I forgot where)Lemony mentions that Beatrice was killed in the afternoon. Well, she could only be the Baud's Mom if she was in another country... :P Ignore that, it was more conjecture than theory. And, yes the Quagmires WERE hidden in a herring statue, and that's that! If you don't believe me, reread the books.

just because Beatrice MIGHT be the Baudelaires mom it doesn't mean Lemony Snicket is their father.Why would he want to tell the whole world of what "his children" went through if he were their father which is VERY unlikly.

Ok. Heres another one of my guesses for the 12th book title. Dreadful Denoument. Doesn't that make sense? the clue is hotel denoument, the last safe place, and dreadful denoument wouldn't be a bad title.

Lemony Snicket can't be Count Olaf's brother. In the Grim Grotto, the captain says there were three of them. Kit Snicket took them in the taxi at the end, Jacques Snicket died. That only leaves Lemony Snicket. And he isn't Count Olaf because he said in the Carnivorous Carnival that he wasn't there so he didn't know what happened to Madame Lulu, but Olaf WAS there. How did you work out Ominous Omnibus? And by the way, Christopher, stop acting like you know everything. You don't, whatever you like to believe, your belief is in vain.

In the auto biography there are two letters and a playscript. It dosen't look like much, but some of the words have been underlined, when put them together this is what I got: Letter#ONE: 'Hello. If you are alive, do not come here. The count will burn you, and Beatrice, stay away!'. Letter#TWO: 'Attending your masked ball is dangerous' but I'll be there. Lemony'. The playscript: 'Attention! Hidden in the snowman is a suvivor of the fire. Meet us in the town where this film takes place. Bring the three children. Your new assistanat is not one of us, beware!'. I've also noticed that the first letters title is 'The Vineyard of Fragrant Drapes' instead of grapes, and the initials of Vineyard, Fragrant and Drapes is V.F.D.

"we used to red herrings to fool you." esme said. the children could see, in the back of the truck, the big red herring that had been lot #48 in the in auction." so there you go. the quagmire's WERE hidden in a red herring in the 6th book. i quoted from the book, go check.

Ok, two things. First of all, I think that Lemony's sister(Kit) is the baudelaire's mother. I was studying the movie(before I read about Lemony having a sister named Kit) and when he gets up from his desk after he finishes writing the book, there's a picture on it's side, of two boys and I girl(I think they are Lemony, Jaques, and Kit/the baudelaire's mother). Right now I can't remember why I think he's the kids' uncle, but I'll post it when I remember. Also, I noticed three other things in the movie. First, when Klaus looks at his father's spyglass in the drawer after the house has burnt down, there is a gold plate that says V.F.D. on it that is sitting next to it. Secondly, the store where Count Olaf leave's the car outside of to try and run over the children with a train, is called the Last Chance general store(from book the seventh). Lastly, as Lemony is supposed to do at the end of every book, he leaves the printed pages in a package held up near the huge clock, so the publisher can get them. I can't remember the other thing right now, so I'll post it later

I just wanted to let everyone who thinks that the 12th book will be called something along the lines of horrible hotel or whatever that you are wrong. 'Lemony Snicket' would never repeat letters, he has already used H in Hostile Hospital. Therefore the 12th book will have to start with... D,F,I,J,K,L,N,O,P,Q,T,U,X,Y, or Z. I also agree with whoever said they thought the s.o.u.e. books would end at 13, because every chapter in every book has 13 chapters and it is an 'unlucky number'. I personally would like to add that I love the s.o.u.e. books, but they are a little to complex for me, like some of the stuff you guys are saying about how to find out more clues and that. I hope that the last book will bare all, clearly. And lastly I would like to say that it is stupid and very immature for people to be using this site for dissing people and that, it is supposed to help people.

baloo I wouldn't trust anything you saw in the film. It is only BASED on the books and does not really follow them well. s.o.u.e. fan, the reason some beleive that Beatrix is the Baudelaires mother is that there are several hints to this in the books. For example: One of the anagrams in book 8 is Beatrix Baudelaire. The thing is I'm not sure of this theory. As we all know L.S. knows very well what a red herring is and how to use one so I wouldn't be suprised if something completely different to what people expect is the outcome of these books. Also people should be talking about the egg not what they think will happen in the books. P.S. I'm a right hypocrit.

But, i do have to agree that it could also have something to do with the hotel denoument. NOTE: it cannot be anything like Horrible Hotel since "H" has already been used for Hostile Hospital.

Beatrice is not nessesairily the Baudelaire mother. Jerome does indeed state that their mother did climb Mount fraught that fatefull day but the two of them were part of a group of friends which presumably included Mr. Baudelaire and Lemony Snicket as well. It is my guess that Beatrice is not their mother since the evedence given is circumstantial at best and also someone pointed out that none of the siblings recognized the name as their mother's. This event did not nessesairily take place a long time ago from the siblings point of view either. When Lemony writes about it is says it takes place 20 years ago but that is as of the time of his writing it and not as of the time he is writing about (the siblings story timeline) since he is always pointing out that the siblings story is fairly old as well. another title posibility: the deletarious denoument?

Alsou what if Lemony was the Quaqmires father. And I think that the secret pasege in the 6th book that lead from the elevator to the Bauelaire mansion is how the fire got started. Count Olaf and Estme travel trough there to set mantion on fire as a revenge.Then that would explain that he would be the first relative that would be their gardia because he is the closest one .V.F.D. migh stand for Various Fire Disasters.

Carrie E. Abelabudite is a patient.Carrie E.

Abelabudite is also a patient that died in a fire that means she really did die in a fire in the afternoon...But does that mean the Baudelaire's Mother is Beatrice... With all due respect, The Editor

In Book four in the picture at the back there is a school bus. The next book is the Austere Academy which is like a school.At the end of the Austere Academy there is a fish on the numberplate of the car and in the next book, The Ersatz Elevator, they go to the restaurant where they serve salmon. Then at the end there is a picture of a crow and in Book 7 there are heaps of crows around the village. At the end of that one there is a picture of them picking up paper and there is a piece of paper that says Last Chance on it. In Book eight the children pretty much start off in the Last Chance General Store. In the end of Book 8 the picture is of the children in the back of Count Olafs car and there is a poster of Madame Lulu which is the fortune teller at the carnival in the ninth book. I dont know the ninth book picture. The tenth book picture is of the Beaudelaires getting dragged away by water and in book eleven its all about water.

This is just for LucyCherry38. I'm pretty sure that ness wouldn't have put up the wrong site on purpose and besides, they just changed the web address because I had been to the site that ness had put up before, they've just changed it to http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/h/daniel-handler/ Also about the "13 Shocking Secrets You'll Wish You Never Knew About Lemony Snicket" that had been released a long time ago as a pdf document and "He is finished" just means that Lemony Snicket has just finished writing book the thirteenth named "The End".

This comment is about people thinking that Mr. Baudelaire is actually Lemony Snicket. Though I do believe that Mrs. Baudelaire is Beatrice, I don't think that Lemony is Mr. Baudeliare because, first fo all he has two siblings with the last name Snicket and he is seen (though not his actual face) in the picture with the baudelaire parents and his brother jacques Snicket, so there is no way the Mr. baudelaire and Lemony Snicket are the same person in the books. Vote Yes if you agree with me.

Alka asked if anyone has any ideas about Book the Thirteenth and on the Harper Collins website they've posted the letter from Lemony Snicket that will appear on the back cover. Here's the website to check it out: http://www.harpercollinschildrens.com/HarperChildrens/Kids/BookDetail.aspx?isbn13=9780064410168 It mentions some pretty interesting stuff...and it also confirms that the last book will be named simple "The End".

OK, first of all Beatrice and the salad prediction is a little out there. I mean isn't it possible that more than one person made that same salad. Second of all, Jerome said that the accident with the bird on the mountain happened twenty or so years ago. How in the world could the kid’s parents be Beatrice when she supposedly was taken to a birds nest and killed before the orphans were even born! And the end of Jerome’s sentences ("Your mother was adventurous, too. . . . We hiked up Mount Fraught with some friends--gosh, it must have been twenty years ago. Mount Fraught was known for having dangerous animals on it, but your mother wasn't afraid. But then, swooping out of the sky--" ) It could very well be that the end of the sentence is that “Beatrice your mother’s sister was taken by a bird.” It could really be anything. My prediction is that Beatrice is Lemony’s sister who was also in the VFD organization. Beatrice might even be Lemony’s husband .Either way I am sure that Beatrice was somehow involved in the VFD organization. I am also 100% sure that Beatrice knew the orphans mother in some way. And whoever wants to know the 13th book comes out Oct.13 and another new book is called “The Beatrice Letters” comes out September 5th! This should clear up this discussion.

It's Obvious Beatrice Is The Mother Of The Baudelaires Because; If Beatrice Wasn't Returned To Safety Then Jeromy Squalor Wouldn't Have Brought It Up And If You Look Closely In The Twelfth Book You Can See Seagulls Which Means That The Thirteenth Book Is Set On An Island And It Is Called The End And I Noticed That Lemony Snicket Was At The Hostile Hospital At The Same Time As The Baudelaires So Was There Mother So The End Of The Books Where It Says I Am Now Viewing What Happened To The Baudelaires Is Wrong HE WAS THERE!!!!!!!

Lemony Snicket can't be their father because in the 5th book it says "The Baudelairs did not necessarily want to be exteremely lucky, like someone who finds a treasure map or someone who wins a lifetime supply of ice cream in a contest, or like the man-and not, alas, me- who was lucky enough to marry my beloved Beatrice and live with her in happiness over the course of her short life."

Tammy92, you are wrong. Lemony Snicket IS Daniel Handler, and Daniel has written other books. Lemony Snicket is an alias for Daniel Handler, because Daniel used to write in to newspapers and stuff using an alias so people could not find him. It's all in Wikipedia, search it up.

There are lots of people who are wondering about Mr. and Mrs. Baudelaire. Mrs. Baudelaire IS Beatrice. [In the last book Kit's request was to name the baby after the Baudelaire's mother, and the baby's name is Beatrice.] Mr. Baudelaire IS NOT Lemony Snicket. [For one, he says that she was in love with someone else; i.e. MR. BAUDELAIRE!!] The title of the next book for those who are wondering about book 12 is THE PENULTIMATE PERIL, book 13 is THE END and book 14 [at the end of book THE END] is called CHAPTER FOURTEEN. I hope I helped. [I know this for sure because I have read the entire series =D]

Ok so what I have heard so far is very interesting. Everyone is saying Beatrice is Violet,Klaus,and Sunnys mother. I think that Lemony snicket is kind of making people think and that to distract people so they don't know he is supposed to be the villian Count Olaf. She has to have died but not in the fire. She must have been a paitent at the hosipital and died then like everyone says. Note: she is propley the mother and She died in the afternoon and the fire was is the morning. The fire at the hosipital in the 8th book Was in the after noon. To help people that might not have the books in the dedication pages of the 9th,10th,11th,12th,and 13th book said ( 9th book dedication ) For Beatrice- Our love broke my heart and stopped yours. ( 10th book dedication ) For Beatrice- Whenwe met, you were pretty, and I was lonely. Now, I am pretty lonely. ( 11th book dedication ) For Beatrice- Dead woman tell no tales. Sad men write them down. ( 12th book dedication ) For Beatrice- No one could extingush my love, or your house. Finally, ( 13th book dedication Note: at the very end it says Beatrice ) For Beatrice- I cherished, you perished. The world's nightmarish. Sincerely, Helpful

Lemony Snicket is not the Baudelaire's father or their mother's lover, secret or otherwise. He was/is a lost sibling. The clue for this lie in chapter 2 of the Penultimate Peril, when Lemony was spelling everything as though it were in a mirror and if you were to hold the book up to a mirror, it would say as follows "...whatever secrets they discover after so much reflection, such as a previously unknown sibling who was already watching them at that very moment." Also in "13 Shocking Secrets you'll wish you never knew about Lemony Snicket" it is clearly stated that "Lemony Snicket is one of the three siblings" I find that this hardly makes any sense at all. Before reading the 13 shocking secrets, I had thought that Lemony was the actual 1st born Baudelaire child who had been kidnapped by V.F.D. for training and such which is hinted in shocking secret #7 and maybe "The Unauthorized Autobiography" which I have'nt read in so long that I can't be sure. I also thought that Beatrice, in addition to the baby and the Baudelaire mother, was named after the same person who the Baudelaire mother was named after in the tradition of naming a child after someone who had died. This is my theory, but after reading that he is one of the THREE siblings, I am utterly confused and losing hope of ever figuring it out. Please help me figure this out!

Wrong, Just because Beatrice ***IS*** the mother doesn't mean Lemony is the father. He isnt. Lemony was going to marry Beatrice but then the newspapers said that Lemony died. So after a while, thinking Lemony dead, Beatrice married Mr. Baud and had Violet, Klaus, and then Sunny. Then Beatrice died. Read the wiki people and TOTALLY read the Unauthorized Autobiography.

Beccy writes:
Beatrice IS the Baudelaire's mother. Lemony Snicket conducted an ill-fated romance with the actress Beatrice Baudelaire, Lemony and Beatrice being at one point engaged to be married, but Beatrice breaking off the engagement for unclear reasons, and returning her ring to Lemony at some point later, along with a two-hundred page book explaining why the two could not be wed. It is revealed, however, that Lemony Snicket was believed to be dead by the Baudelaire parents, as The End states that, following with the tradition of naming children after someone who has died, Violet was to be named Lemony if she was a boy. Beatrice most probably discovered the truth sometime after marrying Bertrand Baudelaire, as she would presumably have no reason to send the ring and book to Lemony if she consistently believed his death. As Beatrice was the Baudelaires' mother, she died in the fire that destroyed the Baudelaire mansion. She is not to be confused with another Beatrice Baudelaire, the daughter of Kit Snicket, and adopted sister of the Baudelaire orphans. Snicket frequently alludes to Beatrice in his narration and dedicates each Series of Unfortunate Events book to her.
