When the children arrived at the Smith's residence, they were immediately in awe. Everywhere they looked were beautiful furnishings, and evidence that they were moving in with a family of great wealth.

"Welcome to our home," Mrs. Smith greeted as they walked in the front door. Directly in front of them was a long corridor with many rooms on each side. The children gazed around them; amazed at this humongous house. They dumped their bags by the door and Violet wandered into the first room on the right, with the other orphans trailing behind her. It just happened to be the living room, a very large room with a fireplace and a plasma-screen television. The walls were cream-colored, with large cranberry drapery made of velvet. In the middle of the room was a coffee table made of mahogany wood. In the middle of the room, hanging from the ceiling, was a large, delicate chandelier. There was a large painting of a bowl of fruit on the wall above the fireplace. As Violet made a complete 360-degree turn, she noticed that Sunny was no longer in the room with her and Klaus. She walked back into the corridor and instead tried the first room on the left. Once again, she was amazed at the room's beauty. This was quite obviously the master bedroom. It was a deep, crimson red with a king-sized, four-poster bed. However, Sunny was not in the room. So she and Klaus exited the room and entered the second door to the right. This was a large bathroom, complete with a fabulous Jacuzzi. They found Sunny trying to climb into the Jacuzzi.

"Whew, I'm glad we found her," Klaus exclaimed. "It appears to be easy to get lost in this house."

"Me too," Violet replied. "We'd better get out of here before the Smith's find us in here and think that we're snooping around their house."

"Good idea," said Klaus. He seemed mesmerized by the size of the bathroom. "I never knew that bathrooms could be this big," he said in awe. "We weren't exactly poor, but our house never had a bathroom quite like this."

"I know," Violet replied. "Let's go back out with Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

They left the room, walked back through the long corridor and reentered the living room where they found Mrs. Smith polishing a beautiful, intricate sculpture.

"Wow, that's an amazing sculpture," Klaus told Mrs. Smith.

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Smith asked rhetorically. "This was passed down to me from my great-grandmother. It came over from Italy in the late 1880's."

Violet suddenly remembered the luggage they had left by the door. "We'd better go get our bags," Violet said to Klaus.

"Oh, don't worry about them," Mrs. Smith said, overhearing what Violet had said. "Austin has already taken them to your room. You will be staying in the last room on the right."

Klaus walked out of the living room to see their bedroom, with Violet and Sunny walking behind him. As they entered the room, they were amazed to see their bags already beside each of their beds in a fabulous room with blue walls. "It seems that every room in this house is a different color," Klaus remarked.

"True, but we shouldn't be staying here for much longer if we still plan to run away," Violet said, bringing Klaus back to reality. "Would the two of you rather stay here or run away to find Hector and the Quagmires in the self-sustaining hot-air mobile home?"

"Mobile home!" both Klaus and Sunny replied in unison.

"Okay, then let's figure out how and when we're going to leave this place."
