Dear Diary,
Finally the orphans are mine! I’m making a plan to get their enormous fortune their parents left behind when their house burned up with them. My plan is almost complete. I shall tell you about it tomorrow.

Dear Diary,
My plan is to steal the orphans fortune. I can’t wait for my play The Marvelous Marriage . But to give you a hint about how my plan goes my play should be called The Marvelous Take Over Marriage. Ha... Ha... Ha!!!

Dear Diary,
Tomorrow is the big day!! my big plan is to marry Violet because she is the onlu one eligible to the fortune!! So if I marry her I can steal her fortune. All I need is a judge, a bride (Violet) a groom (me) and we have to say, “I Do” and sign the marriage papers, and we shall be legally married.
I am all ready to say this is a real marriage. Here it goes, “Now ladies and gentlemen. I have an important announcement. There is no reason to continue tonight’s performance for it’s purpose has been served. This has not been a scene of fiction. My marriage to Violet Baudelaire is perfectly legal, and now I am in control of her entire fortune!”
It will be perfect, but just inc ase it does not go the way I planned, Sunny (who is hanging out the tower window) will be dropped to her death.

Dear Diary,
Blast!!!! I can’t stand those orphans!! Violet signed with her left hand, and she is right handed. So I was about to get arrested for abuse to my children, but the lights went off, and I got away with my cre. If I ever get a hold of them, I’ll get their fortune, and I will kill them with my own two hands!!
