In book #4: the Miserable Mill Mr. Poe tells the Baudelaire orphans that they will be living in a lumber mill owned by there new guardian the children begin to get excited thinking that Violet will have a chance to study the machines in the mill, and Klaus may have a chance to read many books if the mill has a library, and sunny to find some wood to chew on but instead they end up working at the mill. when they arrive at the mill a nice man who lives in the house that all the workers live in shows them around and introduces them to everyone. the next morning they woke up very early, and weren't given any breakfast and were put right to work in the mill. while working at the mill they are treated very badly. they get gum for lunch and only get paid in coupons. they go to speak with the owner who is supposed to be there guardian not there boss but he is very stern. He told them to call him ser because he has a long name that no one can pronounce and he is always smoking a cigar so there is always a large cloud of smoke in front of his face so you can't see his face. the next day a bit after lunch was over a very rude man named Foreman Fluctano tripped Klaus and his glasses fell of and broke. Luckily there was an eye doctors office in the small town of paylteryville which of course is where Count Olaf jumps in. this time he has disguised himself as a women that works at the doctors office. he hypnotizes Klaus during his visit to the eye doctors. after that a day after Klaus's return to the factory he gets his memory back. the next day a terrible accident happens and Phil the nice man who showed them around broke his leg in one of the machines and Mr. Poe doesn't think its a suitable place for the children to live anymore however he doesn't have another Guardian for them to live with so they must live in a boarding school call Prufrock preparatory school. at the school there is a rotten nasty vice principal named vice principal Nero. He makes the kids watch his terrible Violin concerts and if the are late to one then they must buy a big bag of candy and watch him eat it. he makes sunny his assistant and puts Violet and Klaus into classes. there they meet Isadora and Duncan Quagmire. who by the way are triplets but there brother Quigly, perished in a fire that also killed there parents and destroyed there entire home as well. the Quagmires are just as intelligent as the Baudelaire and know exactly how they feel. But its not a happy ending yet since Count Olaf is back this time disguised as a gym teacher. he makes the Baudelaire orphans run laps all night long. the Quagmires start to do a little family research on the Baudelaire's when they discover a secret organization named VFD. but they are captured by count Olaf just at the end when they are about to tell the Baudelaire's about it. Next Mr. Poe takes the Baudelaire's to live with family members who are very rich and live in the pent house suit of a tall building on 667 dark avenue. while they are there staying with Jerome and Esme Squalor they find out Esme is planning a very important auction and the auctioneer is Count Olaf in another disguise. they are then pushed down the elevator shaft by Esme and that is where they find the Quagmire triplets. they are locked up in a large cage and tell the Baudelaire's that Count Olaf is planning on hiding them in one of the large auction items. the Baudelaire's then leave to go get something to burn the cage but when they return they cage is gone. there is however a small passage way which they follow to the end the beat on the roof and when a whole bunch of ashes fall and they see daylight coming out of some slits in the ceiling they open the hatch only to find themselves surrounded by the remaining ashes of there old home. they then go to the auction where they bid on an item that is a large box with the initials V.F.D. printed on it thinking that the Quagmire triplets are in there but instead they are in the item right after that which is a giant fish statue. count Olaf once again gets away but this time hes not alone he has his trusty evil girlfriend Esme Squalor. they children are then taken to another Guardian bu that is in the next book.
