The bricks were stained with soot and grime. So, what does Count Olaf's house look like? It's as hideous as his heart: Well, he certainly sounds qualified, doesn't he? Location, location, location. Here in the city, you'll be used to your surroundings, and this Count Olaf is the only relative who lives within the urban limits." (2.10) Poe said, "instructs that you be raised in the most convenient way possible. Poe chooses him as a guardian for the children: The Baudelaire mansion is in the heart of the city (where it burns down), but this metropolis must be at least a little bit safe because the children are allowed to explore without parental supervision-so long as they're home for dinner.Ĭount Olaf also lives in the city, which is the main reason Mr. The Bad Beginning takes place entirely in an unnamed city that Lemony Snicket describes as "a dirty and busy" (1.2) place. ![]() ![]() ![]() The faire is Simon’s family legacy and from the start he makes clear he doesn’t have time for Emily’s lighthearted approach to life, her oddball Shakespeare conspiracy theories, or her endless suggestions for new acts to shake things up.

Rawr!Ī question I get a lot is how I have a D/s relationship with children. This works well, because my Daddy is a sadist. Because on top of being a babygirl, I’m also a masochist (which means I like pain). I’m more of a whips and chains girl, myself.
