Once Klaus and Y/N finish looking around in the library, they decide to join Violet in the upstairs bedroom and help with what they can.
"Are you alright?" Klaus asks, stopping Y/N before they go upstairs.
"Yeah," she gives a slight smile, "I'm okay. It's just frustrating, you know?"
"I know, but you have us now. We...I won't let anything happen to you. I promise," Klaus smiles.
They both go upstairs and assist Violet in making the ladder. Suddenly, they hear a loud crash come from downstairs in the library.
"What was that?" Violet asks, throwing down what she is working on. The children run down to the library to find a human sized hole smashed through the window that is above the very large lake.
"Aunt Josephine..." Klaus says in disbelief.
Y/N finds a note laying on the table near the window. "Violet, Klaus, Sunny, and Y/N: By the time you read this note, my life will be at it's end. My heart is as cold as Ike, and I find my life inbearable. I know you children may not understand the sad life of a dowager, or what would have lead...leadled me to this desperate akt, but please know that I am much happier this way. As my last will and testament, I leave you four in the care of Captain Sham, a kind and honorable men. Please think of me kindly, even though I'd done this terrible thing, Josephine Anwhistle."
"This is horrible. I can't believe it," Violet's voice cracks.
"There is something funny about this note," Klaus takes the note from Y/N to better examine it.
"There is nothing funny about a woman throwing herself out a window," Violet looks at Klaus.
"I don't think he means funny as in funny joke. I think he means funny as in..." Y/N can't find the right words to describe it.
"Funny smell," Klaus finishes. "Let me show you. In the very first sentence, she writes 'my life will at it's end' with an i t apostrophe s. Meaning 'it is'. This is a grammatical error."
"Who cares about grammatical errors when she jumped out a window?" Violet asks, still not catching on.
"Josephine would have cared. She said grammar is the greatest joy in life," Y/N explains.
"That's not enough," Violet shrugs it off. "No matter how much she liked grammar, she said she found her life unbearable."
"That's another error, actually. She didn't say she found her life unbearable with a 'u'. She said she found her life inbearable, with an 'i'. That's not a word," Y/N explains.
"Our situation isn't inbearable, it's unbearable. Aunt Josephine left us in the care of Captain Sham, and I don't know what we can do about it," Violet reasons.
"Maybe this isn't in her handwriting at all..." Klaus starts.
"Olaf," Violet finally understands.

"Mr. Poe is here," Violet says, letting the man in. "Thank you so much for coming so quickly, especially after what happened last night."
"Oh yes of course, children. Now, we must hurry along. Your new guardian Captain Sham has invited us all to brunch to talk this over," Mr. Poe says.
"Brunch?" Klaus asks.
"We are not going to brunch with that villain," Y/N says.
"Whatever are you talking about? Come on, I want to get this settled once and for all. I've heard Hurricane Herman is going to be so enormous and menacing, it'll most likely shut down all electric power in the city. So I want to settle this quickly, put you in the hands of a sailor I just met on the phone, before returning safe and sound to the city," Mr. Poe coughs out.
