No reality has the power to dispel a dream.
The real Santa Claus is at the mall.
The story of the Baudelaires takes place in a very real world, where some people are laughed at just because they have something wrong with them, and where children can find themselves all alone in the world, struggling to understand the mystery that surrounds them.
If you know somebody very well, like your grandmother or your baby sister, you will know when they are real and when they are fake.
I didn't realize this was a sad occasion.

Anyone who knew Violet well could tell she was thinking hard, because her long hair was tied up in a ribbon to keep it out of her eyes.
