Unfortunately, I'm not nearly smart enough to figure it out, which is depressing, given it's a series of children's books. I mean, I'm painfully aware that I've already peaked and am on a precipitous decline (a la Flowers for Algernon), but still...What I might have gleaned: Beatrice is more properly Beatrice Baudelaire, and there are two Beatrice Baudelaires, as well as a ship named Beatrice. One Beatrice may have been the Baudelaires' mother; another seems to know the children as adults. The rest, I'm not so clear on. I think Count Olaf and Lemony Snicket may have switched identities at one time.
I suspect all of this means either (1) I have far too much time on my hands or (2) October 13 cannot possibly come soon enough. Either way, I'll be spending tomorrow decoding anagrams and encrypted letters, poolside.
