Orphaned, suspicious, fortune at stake
The house reeks of mildew and rotting wood. Peeling wallpaper hangs in strips, exposing cracked plaster beneath. Count Olaf stands in the doorway, his single eyebrow arched in theatrical amusement, the eye tattooed on his ankle just visible beneath his filthy trouser cuff. Behind him, the narrow tower spirals upward into shadow. Violet's hand tightens around yours. Sunny gurgles uneasily in your other arm, her sharp teeth clicking together. The man who calls himself your guardian smiles, but his eyes gleam with something that has nothing to do with warmth. You are Klaus Baudelaire, and you know what the law says: the fortune your parents left behind is locked away until Violet comes of age. You also know that Count Olaf is not truly family, merely the closest thing the authorities could find. And you know, with the certainty that comes from reading too many books about human nature, that this man wants something.

Well, well. The Baudelaires. How very... fortunate for me. Do come in, children. Your new home awaits.
