When they arrive at the Mallahan Lighthouse, they pretend to be a couple mad about lighthouses and Mr. Theodora was excited at that their client had told them who the culprit was, and they decided to continue investigating. Sallis is sure that the Mallahan Family are the ones that stole the statue. She says that this statue is valued at a great price, and she asked them to promise to be discreet about the Sallis name, and to return the statue to its rightful owner. She mentions the Bombinating Beast, a statue about the size of a milk bottle, black in color and made of very precious wood. They are invited to the Sallis Mansion, and meet their client, Mrs. Theodora Markson, to investigate the theft of a statue. In the tiny town called Stain'd-by-the-Sea, Snicket begins his apprenticeship with S. Theodora Markson, and after conversing for a bit, they drive off. He goes to the washroom, and uses a ladder (which he had prepared before) to reach a small window, and finds his chaperone parked in a green roadster. 12-year-old Lemony Snicket is going on a train ride with his "parents", when his chaperone-to-be gives him a note on where to meet her.
