Violet 14
Aiden 13
Thalia and Klaus 12
Theon 8

After some time of Theon crying, he finally calmed down and took a big breath in. He then went to sit next to Violet and said determinedly

- Let's go save your friends!

All the children smiled softly at that as Violet rubbed Theon's back softly in appreciation.

And that's when the brainstorming started. Everyone was concentrating hard on how they could save the unfortunate triplets.

Sadly, Violet's invention was destroyed while coming up, and there was no way of recreating it.

The first to come up with something was Thalia.

- We could use a ladder, one of those rope like ones, she said, wondering

-Possibly, but we don't have one, do we? Aiden said in a questioning tone

- No, but we can recreate one! Violet said as she finished up her train of thought

- Oh yes! We could use sheets because rope will be pretty hard to find, Abigail said

- That's exactly what I thought, Violet exclaimed happily

- Will we have enough time to do it, though?? Klaus asked, concerned about the time limit and desperate to find a way down the dark shaft in time

-What if we ask to sleep here tonight? Then we will have time to assemble our invention, Aiden suggested

- And we won't raise suspicion messing with bed sheets, Klaus completed

The plan was all set. It was time to put it to use. As they were done discussing their rescue mission there was a soft knock on the door.

-Children lunch is served, Jerome said peeking inside the room.

-We are coming right up Jerome, Violet answered in a gentle tone at her new guardian

The only sure person to be caught in all of this business was seemingly for now only Gunther, or rather Count Olaf. They were not sure who to trust and the confined their worries, plans and thoughts among their little team.

They stood up and walked in the dining room, all sitting down next to each other for the meal.

-For this special occasion, I have chosen the formal dining room, Esme said excitedly

-Love these vases, don't you? Jerome said with a smile to Anthony, who nodded along

-Sturdy enough to cause a fatal concussion, no? Said Gunther in his funny accent, looking back at the children

The Clampitts were a little shocked by the sudden threat that nobody else but them and the Baudelaires seemed to hear as an uneasy feeling set down their stomachs.

They all sat down next to each other, taking in the beautiful decoration of the room.

They had to admit
    it was classy.

There were fine plates with crystal glasses on the table along with crystal candlesticks  with lit candles and crystal vases with majestic white and red flowers. There was a grand chandelier on the ceiling and a big painting of a man wearing a monocle.

Abigail, always interested in art, couldn't help but admire the soft painting on the walls that resembled ancient Greek temples and statues.

Then the meal was put onto the table looking delicious as ever.
