Klaus shook himself out of his thoughts. It had to be her. It was the only logical explanation. "But," he said out loud, "That makes no sense. God exists. Yet she is here, in a Satanic form. And of course, there was all of Count Olaf's heinous crimes. Mackie said in his article Evil and Omnipotence, God is omnipotent and omnibenevolent. Yet evil exists. She's come. She scared Bea. Maybe Vi is right: maybe God does not exist."

There was a cry. Klaus stood up and went downstairs. Isadora and Violet were clinging onto each other. "The figure's appeared!" cried Isadora hysterically.

"Then she disappeared with Duncan!" cried Violet. "We might be next!"

Klaus sighed. "I'll deal with her," he said. "I think she might be my ex-girlfriend."
