For Beatrice--When we were together I felt breathless. Now, you are.-Lemony Snicket - Daniel Handler

They say in every library there is a single book that can answer the question that burns like a fire in the mind.

You would run much slower if you were dragging something behind you, like a knapsack or a sheriff.

I hope, for your sake, that you have not chosen to read this book because you are in the mood for a pleasant experience. If this is the case, I advise you to put this book down instantaneously, because of all the books describing the unhappy lives of the Baudelaire orphans, The Miserable Mill might be the unhappiest yet. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are sent to Paltryville to work in a lumber mill, and they find disaster and misfortune lurking behind every log.
