The Baudelaire limousine screeches to a halt before a lilac-fenced house, shrouded in an ominous pile of boxes. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny emerge, their faces etched with the familiar dread of yet another failed placement. Mr. Poe abandons them abruptly, leaving the siblings to face the unknown alone. Klaus knocks, but silence answers. Sunny points to a yellow note on the window ledge. Violet retrieves it, her hands trembling slightly as she prepares to read the introduction of their new guardian, Miss Kuznetsov, into the gloom.
