Powell St. trolley — San Francisco.
Pixie girl, blonde pigtails, maybe 10, and small for her age. Halfway through, likely approaching the scene where Violet has to marry Count Olaf. Yuck.
The Bad Beginning, Lemony Snicket (HarperCollins)
Page 99:
“I stayed up all night reading,” Klaus said breathlessly, as his sister opened her eyes, and I discovered what Count Olaf is up to. He plans to marry you for real, when you and Justice Strauss and everyone all think it’s just a play, and once he’s your husband he’ll have control of our parents’ money and he can dispose of us.”
Oh no, indeed! I wonder if she’ll make it all the way through the series or close the book before the end of Book One when Snicket offers a final warning, “if you like, you may shut the book this instant and not read the unhappy ending that is to follow.” I did just that.
