Why do I feel like there's going to be a "missing day" here?!? ;)
“If you feel... that well-read people are less likely to be evil, and a world full of people sitting quietly with good books in their hands is preferable to world filled with schisms and sirens and other noisy and troublesome things, then every time you enter a library you might say to yourself, 'The world is quiet here,' as a sort of pledge proclaiming reading to be the greater good.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Slippery Slope
Also in this book, Violet Baudelaire invents an ice-climbing device from a ukulele and forks, which she and Quigley Quagmire use to climb a mountain to rescue her infant sister from Count Olaf's evil clutches. Halfway through the climb, the two children pause. The narrator, Lemony Snicket, then comments that the two have been deprived of privacy in all aspects of their lives, and subsequentlty refuses to divulge exactly what happened between Violet and Quigley. He states quite simply that the two of them SHALL be granted privacy in this one instance, and that they WILL be given this ONE moment to keep for and to themselves. :)
