Baudelaires and the Squalors sipped aqueous martinis one evening in a living room the children had never seen before.

In the kitchen they found some grapes, a box of crackers, and a jar of apple butter, as well as a bottle of water that the Squalors used for making aqueous martinis but that the Baudelaires would use to quench their thirst during their long climb.
