Quote #10
The Baudelaires bunched up together against the cold night air, and kept waving out the back window. The car drove farther and farther away, until Justice Strauss was merely a speck in the darkness, and it seemed to the children that they were moving in an aberrant—the word "aberrant" here means "very, very wrong, and causing much grief"—direction. (13.75)
What a heartbreaking last line. Just when everything was taking a happy turn, we're plunged back into sadness. The children are separated from the one person who has been kind to them and thrust off into another unknown future. Will someone please get us another box of tissues?
