"waiting is one of life's hardships. it is hard enough to wait for chocolate cream pie while burnt roast beef is still on your plate. it is plenty difficult to wait for halloween when the tedious month of september is still ahead of you. but to wait for one's adopted uncle to come home while a greedy and violent man is upstairs was one of the worst waits the baudelaires had ever experienced."
