Dedications
     Lemony Snicket dedicates each of his books to the elusive Beatrice. These messages may give us a clue about her identity.

To Beatrice -- darling, dearest, dead

For Beatrice -- My love for you shall live forever. You, however, did not.

For Beatrice -- I would much prefer it if you were alive and well.

To Beatrice --
My love flew like a butterfly
Until death swooped down like a bat
As the poet Emma Montana McElroy said:
"That's the end of that"

For Beatrice -- You will always be in my heart, in my mind, and in your grave.

For Beatrice -- When we met, my life began. Soon afterward, yours ended.

For Beatrice -- When we were together I felt breathless. Now, you are.

For Beatrice -- Summer without you is as cold as winter. Winter without you is even colder.

For Beatrice -- Our love broke my heart, and stopped yours.

For Beatrice -- When we met, you were pretty, and I was lonely. Now, I am pretty lonely.
