[3450,4740,"if you've ever noticed this"," "," "," "],
[5274,8340,"first impressions are often entirely wrong."," "," "," "],
[8240,9550,"You can look at a painting"," "," "," "],
[9550,10450,"for the first time,"," "," "," "],
[10590,13280,"for example, and not like it at all,"," "," "," "],
[13280,15599,"but after looking at it a little longer"," "," "," "],
[15599,18240,"you may find it very pleasing."," "," "," "],
[18240,21039,"The first time you try Gorgonzola-cheese"," "," "," "],
[21039,23039,"you may find it too strong,"," "," "," "],
[23039,24494,"but when you are older"," "," "," "],
[24559,28480,"you may want to eat nothing but Gorgonzola cheese."," "," "," "],
[28480,30960,"Klaus, when Sunny was born,"," "," "," "],
[30960,33120,"did not like her at all,"," "," "," "],
[33120,35360,"but by the time she was six weeks old"," "," "," "],
[35560,38179,"the two of them were thick as thieves."," "," "," "],
[38079,41440,"Your initial opinion on just about anything"," "," "," "],
[41440,43800,"may change over time."," "," "," "],
[43800,47907,"I wish I could tell you that the Baudelaires' first impressions of Count Olaf"," "," "," "],
[47739,49039,"and his house"," "," "," "],
[49039,50116,"were incorrect,"," "," "," "],
[50400,53280,"as first impressions so often are"," "," "," "],
[53280,54960,"But these impressions-"," "," "," "],
[54960,57760,"that Count Olaf was a horrible person,"," "," "," "],
[57760,58658,"and his house"," "," "," "],
[58800,60640,"a depressing pigsty-"," "," "," "],
[60640,63760,"were absolutely correct."," "," "," "],
[63900,67900,"During the first few days after the orphans arrival at Count Olaf's,"," "," "," "],
[68000,72479,"Violet, Klaus and Sunny attempted to make themselves feel at home,"," "," "," "],
[72479,74799,"but it was really no use."," "," "," "],
[74799,77840,"Even though Count Olaf's house was quite large."," "," "," "],
[77840,80860,"the three children were placed together in one filthy bedroom"," "," "," "],
[80960,84259,"that had only one small bed in it."," "," "," "],
[84159,86760,"Violet and Klaus took turns sleeping in it,"," "," "," "],
[87160,88540,"so that every other night"," "," "," "],
[88640,89949,"one of them was in the bed"," "," "," "],
[89999,93280,"and the other was sleeping on the hard wooden floor,"," "," "," "],
[93280,95580,"and the bed's mattress was so lumpy"," "," "," "],
[95300,98960,"it was difficult to say who was more uncomfortable."," "," "," "],
[98960,100600,"To make a bed for Sunny,"," "," "," "],
[100600,103920,"Violet removed the dusty curtains from the curtain rod"," "," "," "],
[103920,106479,"that hung over the bedroom's one window"," "," "," "],
[106479,110159,"and bunched them together to form a sort of cushion,"," "," "," "],
[110159,112640,"just big enough for her sister"," "," "," "],
[112640,115759,"However without curtains over the cracked glass,"," "," "," "],
[115759,118859,"the sun streamed through the window every morning,"," "," "," "],
[118759,122799,"so the children woke up early and sore each day."," "," "," "],
[122799,124200,"Instead of a closet,"," "," "," "],
[124200,126600,"there was a large cardboard box"," "," "," "],
[126600,128778,"that had once held a refrigerator"," "," "," "],
[128878,131840,"and would now hold the three children's clothes,"," "," "," "],
[131840,134319,"all piled in a heap."," "," "," "],
[134319,138800,"Instead of toys, books, or other things to amuse the youngsters,"," "," "," "],
[138800,142560,"Count Olaf had provided a small pile of rocks,"," "," "," "],
[142600,145599,"And the only decoration on the peeling walls"," ","the only -> any"," "],
[145599,148879,"was a large and ugly painting of an eye,"," "," "," "],
[148879,151680,"matching the one on Count Olaf's ankle"," "," "," "],
[151680,153760,"and all over the house"," "," "," "],
[153760,155400,"But the children knew"," "," "," "],
[155550,157440,"as I'm sure you know"," "," "," "],
[157440,160640,"that the worst surroundings in the world can be tolerated"," "," "," "],
[160840,164480,"if the people in them are interesting and kind"," "," "," "],
[164480,168360,"Count Olaf was neither interesting nor kind."," "," "," "],
[168560,171680,"he was demanding, short-tempered"," "," "," "],
[171680,174000,"and bad smelling,"," "," "," "],
[174000,176671,"The only good thing to be said for Count Olaf"," "," "," "],
[177000,179599,"is that he wasn't around very often."," "," "," "],
[179599,183580,"When the children woke up and chose their clothing out of the refrigerator box,"," "," "," "],
[183620,187030,"they would walk into the kitchen and find a list of instructions"," "," "," "],
[186760,188720,"left for them by Count Olaf,"," "," "," "],
[188820,192080,"who would often not appear until nighttime"," "," "," "],
[192080,195159,"Most of the day he spent out of the house,"," "," "," "],
[194759,196620,"or up in the high tower,"," "," "," "],
[196520,199680,"where the children were forbidden to go."," "," "," "],
[199680,203680,"The instructions he left for them were usually difficult chores,"," "," "," "],
[203680,206480,"such as repainting the back porch or"," "," "," "],
[206200,208400,"repairing the windows,"," "," "," "],
[208400,210259,"and instead of a signature"," "," "," "],
[210159,212020,"Count Olaf would draw an eye"," "," "," "],
[212220,214239,"at the bottom of the note."," "," "," "],
[214239,216400,"One morning his note read,"," "," "," "],
[216400,218589,"My theater troupe will be coming for dinner"," "," "," "],
[218839,221180,"before tonight's performance."," "," "," "],
[221280,223880,"Have dinner ready for all ten of them"," "," "," "],
[224080,226879,"by the time they arrive at seven o'clock."," "," "," "],
[226879,228239,"Buy the food,"," "," "," "],
[228379,229439,"prepare it,"," "," "," "],
[229479,234799,"set the table, serve dinner, clean up afterwards, and stay out of our way."," "," "," "],
[234799,238080,"Below that there was the usual eye,"," "," "," "],
[238080,239480,"and underneath the note"," "," "," "],
[239380,243080,"was a small sum of money for the groceries."," "," "," "],
[243180,246200,"Violet and Klaus read the note as they ate their breakfast,"," "," "," "],
[246500,249260,"which was a gray and lumpy oatmeal"," "," "," "],
[249060,253920,"Count Olaf left for them each morning in a large pot on the stove."," "," "," "],
[253920,257440,"Then they looked at each other in dismay."," "," "," "],
[257440,260940,"None of us knows how to cook, Klaus said."," "," "," "],
[260840,263240,"That's true, Violet said."," "," "," "],
[263240,266800,"I knew how to repair those windows and how to clean the chimney,"," "," "," "],
[266800,268960,"because those sorts of things interest me."," "," "," "],
[269160,273280,"But I don't know how to cook anything except toast."," "," "," "],
[273280,275919,"And sometimes you burn the toast,"," "," "," "],
[275919,277440,"Klaus said,"," "," "," "],
[277440,279520,"and they smiled."," "," "," "],
[279520,281170,"They were both remembering a time when the"," "," "," "],
[281220,283980,"two of them got up early to make a special breakfast"," "," "," "],
[283880,285180,"for their parents."," "," "," "],
[285680,287919,"Violet had burned the toast,"," "," "," "],
[287919,288907,"and their parents,"," "," "," "],
[288819,289979,"smelling smoke,"," "," "," "],
[289779,291090,"had run downstairs "," "," "," "],
[291079,292840,"to see what the matter was."," "," "," "],
[292940,294720,"When they saw Violet and Klaus,"," "," "," "],
[294820,297749,"looking forlornly at pieces of pitch black toast,"," "," "," "],
[297749,299900,"they laughed and laughed,"," "," "," "],
[299900,303240,"and then made pancakes for the whole family."," "," "," "],
[303340,305180,"I wish they were here,"," "," "," "],
[305280,306860,"Violet said."," "," "," "],
[306810,308289,"She did not have to explain"," "," "," "],
[308289,310780,"she was talking about their parents."," "," "," "],
[310780,314420,"They would never let us stay in this dreadful place."," "," "," "],
[314520,317219,"If they were here, Klaus said."," "," "," "],
[317319,320200,"his voice rising as he got more and more upset,"," "," "," "],
[320400,323479,"we would not be with Count Olaf in the first place."," "," "," "],
[323479,325897,"I hate it here Violet!"," "," "," "],
[325880,327618,"I hate this house!"," "," "," "],
[327680,329311,"I hate our room!"," "," "," "],
[329380,331440,"I hate having to do all these chores,"," "," "," "],
[331480,334780,"and I hate Count Olaf!"," "," "," "],
[334880,336460,"I hate it too,"," "," "," "],
[336560,337399,"Violet said."," "," "," "],
[338049,341659,"and Klaus looked at his older sister with relief."," "," "," "],
[341659,344380,"sometimes just saying that you hate something,"," "," "," "],
[344280,346080,"and having someone agree with you,"," "," "," "],
[346080,349241,"can make you feel better about a terrible situation."," "," "," "],
[349900,354200,"I hate everything about our lives right now, Klaus, she said."," "," "," "],
[354060,357260,"but we have to keep our chin up."," "," "," "],
[357210,360060,"This was an expression the children's father had used,"," "," "," "],
[359960,361280,"and it meant"," "," "," "],
[361080,363919,"try to stay cheerful."," "," "," "],
[363719,365020,"You're right,"," "," "," "],
[365020,365840,"Klaus said."," "," "," "],
[365840,368880,"But it is very difficult to keep one's chin up"," "," "," "],
[369080,373120,"when Count Olaf keeps shoving it down."," "," "," "],
[373010,375319,"Jook! Sunny shrieked."," "," "," "],
[375319,378939,"banging on the table with her oatmeal spoon."," "," "," "],
[378939,381880,"Violet and Klaus were jerked out of their conversation"," "," "," "],
[381880,383500,"and looked once again"," "," "," "],
[383500,385759,"at Count Olaf's note."," "," "," "],
[385659,387719,"Perhaps we could find a cookbook,"," "," "," "],
[387719,389519,"and read about how to cook,"," "," "," "],
[389419,390680,"Klaus said."," "," "," "],
[390780,394700,"It shouldn't be that difficult to make a simple meal."," "," "," "],
[394700,396939,"Violet and Klaus spent several minutes"," "," "," "],
[396939,399800,"opening and shutting Count Olaf's kitchen cupboards,"," "," "," "],
[399800,403280,"but there weren't any cookbooks to be found"," "," "," "],
[403180,406119,"I can't say I'm surprised, Violet said,"," "," "," "],
[406119,409499,"We haven't found any books in this house at all."," "," "," "],
[409499,410620,"I know,"," "," "," "],
[410620,412620,"Klaus said miserably."," "," "," "],
[412570,415420,"I miss reading very much."," "," "," "],
[415370,419420,"We must go out and look for a library sometime soon,"," "," "," "],
[419370,421610,"But not today, Violet said."," "," "," "],
[421660,425740,"Today we have to cook for ten people."," "," "," "],
[425640,428760,"At that moment there was a knock on the front door."," "," "," "],
[428860,432539,"Violet and Klaus looked at one another nervously."," "," "," "],
[432539,433880,"Who in the world "," "," "," "],
[433780,436220,"would want to visit Count Olaf?"," "," "," "],
[436220,438920,"Violet wondered out loud."," "," "," "],
[439020,439380,"Maybe"," "," "," "],
[439380,441000,"somebody wants to visit us,"," "," "," "],
[441100,441869,"Klaus said,"," "," "," "],
[441800,443719,"without much hope."," "," "," "],
[443819,446760,"In the time since the Baudelaire parents death,"," "," "," "],
[446760,449020,"most of the Baudelaire orphans friends"," "," "," "],
[449020,450680,"had fallen by the wayside,"," "," "," "],
[450680,452980,"an expression which here means"," "," "," "],
[452980,455400,"they stopped calling, writing, and stopping by"," "," "," "],
[455500,459260,"to see any of the Baudelaires making them very lonely."," "," "," "],
[459260,463940,"You and I, of course, would never do this to any of our grieving acquaintances,"," "," "," "],
[464000,466160,"but it is a sad truth in life"," "," "," "],
[466160,469099,"that when someone has lost a loved one,"," "," "," "],
[468999,471580,"friends sometimes avoid the person,"," "," "," "],
[471580,475049,"just when the presence of friends is most needed."," "," "," "],
[475099,479080,"Violet, Klaus, and Sunny walked slowly to the front door"," "," "," "],
[478980,481420,"and peered through the peephole."," "," "," "],
[481420,483980,"which was in the shape of an eye."," "," "," "],
[483980,487900,"They were delighted to see Justice Strauss peering back at them,"," "," "," "],
[487900,489609,"and opened the door."," "," "," "],
[489659,492740,"Justice Strauss! Violet cried."," "," "," "],
[492740,495680,"How lovely to see you."," "," "," "],
[495580,496880,"She was about to add,"," "," "," "],
[496930,498400,"Do come in."," "," "," "],
[498200,499619,"but then she realized"," "," "," "],
[499419,502250,"that Justice Strauss would probably not want"," "," "," "],
[502100,505519,"to venture into the dim and dirty room."," "," "," "],
[505619,508619,"Please forgive me for not stopping by sooner,"," "," "," "],
[508569,510200,"Justice Strauss said,"," "," "," "],
[510200,513439,"as the Baudelaires stood awkwardly in the door-way."," "," "," "],
[513639,516460,"I wanted to see how you children were settling in,"," "," "," "],
[516460,519359,"but I had a very difficult case in the High Court"," "," "," "],
[519159,522259,"and it was taking up much of my time."," "," "," "],
[522259,524180,"What sort of case was it?"," "," "," "],
[524180,525780,"Klaus asked."," "," "," "],
[525780,528100,"Having been deprived of reading,"," "," "," "],
[528200,530900,"he was hungry for new information."," "," "," "],
[530900,532669,"I can't really discuss it,"," "," "," "],
[532719,534060,"Justice Strauss said."," "," "," "],
[533960,535860,"because it's official business."," "," "," "],
[535960,539180,"But I can tell you it concerns a poisonous plant"," "," "," "],
[539080,542240,"and illegal use of someone's credit card."," "," "," "],
[542880,545459,"Yeeka! Sunny shrieked,"," "," "," "],
[545359,546599,"which appeared to mean"," "," "," "],
[546584,548099,"How interesting!"," "," "," "],
[548099,549600,"although of course there is no way"," "," "," "],
[549600,552540,"that Sunny could understand what was being said."," "," "," "],
[552740,556720,"Justice Strauss looked down at Sunny and laughed"," "," "," "],
[556820,559539,"Yeeka indeed, she said."," "," "," "],
[559489,562580,"and reached down to pat the child on the head."," "," "," "],
[562580,565019,"Sunny took Justice Strauss's hand"," "," "," "],
[564969,567539,"and bit it, gently."," "," "," "],
[567539,569280,"That means she likes you,"," "," "," "],
[569280,571300,"Violet explained."," "," "," "],
[571300,574999,"She bites very very hard if she doesn't like you,"," "," "," "],
[574899,577350,"or if you want to give her a bath."," "," "," "],
[577300,579940,"I see. Justice Strauss said."," "," "," "],
[579840,582969,"Now then, how are you children getting on?"," "," "," "],
[582919,585680,"Is there anything you desire?"," "," "," "],
[585680,587780,"The children looked at one another,"," "," "," "],
[587780,590480,"thinking of all the things they desired."," "," "," "],
[590480,592740,"Another bed, for example."," "," "," "],
[592640,594929,"A proper crib for Sunny."," "," "," "],
[594879,597260,"Curtains for the window in their room."," "," "," "],
[597260,599980,"A closet instead of a cardboard box."," "," "," "],
[599880,602380,"But what they desired most of all, of course,"," "," "," "],
[602380,605100,"was not to be associated with Count Olaf"," "," "," "],
[605100,607660,"in any way whatsoever."," "," "," "],
[607660,609140,"what they desired most"," "," "," "],
[609040,611120,"was to be with their parents again,"," "," "," "],
[611040,612620,"in their true home,"," "," "," "],
[612620,615579,"but that, of course, was impossible."," "," "," "],
[615579,617260,"Violet, Klaus, and Sunny"," "," "," "],
[617279,619560,"all looked down at the floor unhappily"," "," "," "],
[620260,624120,"as they considered the question."," "," "," "],
[621850,623790,"Finally, Klaus spoke."," "," "," "],
[624190,627230,"Could we perhaps borrow a cookbook? he said."," "," "," "],
[627740,631920,"Count Olaf has instructed us to make dinner for his theater troupe tonight,"," "," "," "],
[631920,635020,"and we can't find a cookbook in the house."," "," "," "],
[635120,637949,"Goodness, Justice Strauss said."," "," "," "],
[637949,643899,"Cooking dinner for an entire theater troupe seems like a lot to ask of children"," "," "," "],
[643899,648190,"Count Olaf gives us a lot of responsibility, Violet said."," "," "," "],
[648290,654459,"What she wanted to say was, Count Olaf is an evil man,- but she was well mannered."," "," "," "],
[654659,659172,"Well, why don't you come next door to my house,- Justice Strauss said,"," "," "," "],
[659260,662440,"and find a cookbook that pleases you?"," "," "," "],
[662540,666761,"The youngsters agreed, and followed Justice Strauss out the door "," "," "," "],
[666761,669759,"and over to her well-kept house."," "," "," "],
[669759,674829,"She led them through an elegant hallway smelling of flowers into an enormous room,"," "," "," "],
[675420,681940,"and when they saw what was inside, they nearly fainted from delight, Klaus especially."," "," "," "],
[681940,684899,"The room was a library."," "," "," "],
[684879,691621,"Not a public library, but a private library; that is, a large collection of books"," "," "," "],
[691621,693680,"belonging to Justice Strauss."," "," "," "],
[693680,699306,"There were shelves and shelves of them, on every wall from the floor to the ceiling,"," "," "," "],
[699306,704200,"and separate shelves and shelves of them in the middle of the room."," "," "," "],
[704200,709590,"The only place there weren't books was in one corner, where there were some large,"," "," "," "],
[709620,715491,"comfortable-looking chairs and a wooden table with lamps hanging over them, perfect for reading."," "," "," "],
[716600,721011,"Although it was not as big as their parents' library, it was as cozy,"," "," "," "],
[721360,723960,"and the Baudelaire children were thrilled."," "," "," "],
[723960,726360,"My word!"," "," "," "],
[726360,727480,"Violet said."," "," "," "],
[727480,729800,"This is a wonderful library!"," "," "," "],
[729800,733800,"Thank you very much, Justice Strauss said."," "," "," "],
