OMG!!! Okay I am SOO sorry!!! Thanks to Belle07 for pointing this out!! I wrote, "She had brown hair and a baby in her hands." in the second chapter but that was supposed to be Beatrice Snicket!!! I'm so sorry!!! Simple mistake!! shrugs

I'm taking advice from Brad395 and writing more as Mr. Snicket does. Not all, there's still a touch of me. Maybe more than a touch…: D I will explain phrases with words as 'The phrase '….' Here means '….' But it won't be Snicket. It will be… A dash of Snicket with a whole lotta Benchwarmer! Thanks to all the reviewers!!! Here's chapter four. -- Benchwarmer

CHAPTER FOUR: Miserably

"That miserable mill Charles?" Sunny asked, walking up to them. Violet bit her lip and nodded. If you recall, while the Baudelaires were staying at Lucky Smells Mill, a man named Charles befriended them. If he's here, only bad things are to come…

…Don't you understand? Close the internet down, stop reading, and get as far from your computer as possible.

Just stop!

What are you still doing!

…Fine, I'll continue. But it will just make your day more miserable…Don't say I didn't warn you.

"I think he noticed who I was too. He was the doctor that helped Beatrice." Violet said. Klaus looked at her nervously.

"Do you think he'll do anything?"

"Well, I bet he knew we were lying. He knew who I was and then he said 'Baby Bea—Kit'. He was about to say Beatrice. He knows about her and V.F.D.

"But Charles is a nice guy. He really cared for us." Klaus added.

"True. But how does he know about Beatrice? That means he had contact with Kit before she died."

"But how does he know Beatrice's name?" Sunny asked.

"I don't know, Sunny. That's where it gets really confusing." Violet said.

"Already confusing." The young girl said. Violet picked her up and sat Sunny on her hip.

"We'll figure it out." She said. "Don't worry. Isadora?" She called. "Isadora, can you take Sunny please?" Sunny frowned and almost cried. "Klaus and I need to talk in private. I'm sorry, Sunny." Isadora gently grabbed Sunny and rocked her. Sunny's eyes watered up and tears rolled down her face. Violet gulped.

"Vi, Charles had contact with someone that knew of us, and the baby being alive."

"But who!" Violet yelled.

"Well…" Klaus snapped his fingers. "Wait! The only one that knows we're here is…"

"Justice Strauss!" They said in unison.

"She must have told Charles about us and Beatrice! She must have known Beatrice was becoming ill, and known that we would go to the doctor!" Violet said excitedly.

"Wait, but why would Justice betray us?" Klaus asked. Using the word 'betray' is a big thing. In this way, the word 'betray' is used in the "Why would Justice Strauss turn around and stab us in the back?"

The phrase 'stab us in the back' here means, 'turn on us and lie'. Who does this remind you of…?

"It must not have been her then… But we'll keep our options open." Violet said. Klaus nodded. "Didn't Justice Strauss look…different to you, though?"

Klaus thought. "She did…and she sounded higher pitched…like she was faking…"

"A disguise…" They heard a faint whisper. Looking down, they saw Sunny.

"Sunny! We told you to stay with Isadora!" Violet scolded.

"Isadora take nap!" Sunny shrugged. "Anyways," Violet sighed. "Kit say something about name: Lemony?"

"I've heard that name!" Klaus yelled. "Lemony Snicket! He was accused of arson in the newspaper that dad and I read together."

"Snicket! Kit's brother!" Violet said.

"But how would he know of us?" They thought for a moment.

"Kit?" Sunny exclaimed. "V.F.D?"

"Those are options, yes… But…" Klaus said. "How about we just have a nice dinner with our friends… And not talk about any of this, V.F.D, Snicket, what will happen next. Let's just have a nice dinner."

"What dinner?" Violet asked. "Klaus, we have no food."

When Violet said, "we have no food", well, she meant just that. They were runaways, with no money. They woke Isadora up and talked. Violet asked the Quagmire's the same question.

"Well," Isadora replied. "We are near a dumpster." She shrugged. Violet turned, disgusted at the smelly dumpster. She shook her head.

"Vi, we are homeless." Quigley said. As you may know, 'homeless' means 'without a home'. Well, in this case, it means 'Violet, we are poor parent-less children with no home.'

"No we're not! I have a home!" Violet went off. Klaus grabbed her shoulders. "We're fine! We have all that we need!"

"Vi, Vi, Vi…" Klaus said. "Shh…" He calmed. She sobbed and shoved her hands in her face, covering. Klaus whispered so no one else could here, "Violet, what's going on?"

"I…"

"You what, Vi?" He whispered almost silently.

"I…I…"

"What?"

"Can't admit it," She said faintly. "We had everything, Klaus." Now, don't confuse the expression, 'we had everything' with 'we technically did have everything'. 'We had everything,' merely here means, 'We were living happily and stably'.

"We still have a lot," Klaus whispered.

"We live in a rubbish pile for crying out loud!" Violet said. 'We live in a rubbish pile,' simply means, well, 'we live in a dump,'

"Vi, we are content."

"Oh, don't talk about being content with me!" She yelled. Klaus pulled her farther from the group. "We are NOT content Klaus! Living is very choppy right now!" In this sense, 'choppy' does not mean 'Mum choppy the onions with the knife,' of course. Here, it means 'rough' or 'hard'.

"Calm down," Klaus said soothingly. "We have each other and we are content."

"There you go again! Content." She said. "We aren't content," She whispered. "You know it."

"Mum and Dad died, Vi. They're gone. We have to fend for ourselves. This is how we will live for awhile!"

"We aren't supposed to be here."

"But we have to be. Vi, admit it. WE ARE ORPHANS."
