This story features one of the children, Rion (I gave him that name, and have decided to make him a little older for the purpose of this tale).…

The characters are forced to deal with people who seem simple and friendly, but are devious and are almost always out to get them. The flock and the Baudelaires are constantly moving from place to place, seeking a place of refuge from the continuous…
