Guests soon enter the mansion library. Above the fireplace mantle where a tall mirror used to stand, enters a man who is deeply sorry to inform us that there has been an extremely unfortunate event involving a mysterious fire that destroyed this once beautiful mansion belonging to the Baudelaire family and the horrible tragedy that came from it, leaving the three children, Violet Klaus and Sunny orphaned.
The man then introduces himself as Lemony Snicket, whose solemn duty is to investigate the dire plot of the Baudelaire orphans, but we on the other hand have no such obligation and advises us to take the nearest exit out of this queue line before experiencing any of the horrible and horrifying events that comprise this ghastly attraction of the Baudelaires’ unfortunate lives.
