In "The Penultimate Peril", Arthur Poe was staying at the Hotel Denouement. The "denouement" of the novel is grim. The exposition is clumsy, the sound track corny, the denouement silly. And day after day hastens the denouement - the destruction of Ignatiev. He came out of his hotel room during Count Olaf's confrontation with Dewey Denouement. By the time we come to the denouement, there is much twist and turn. It is left uncertain whether Hugo survived the fire at the Hotel Denouement. It is left uncertain if Colette survived the fire at the Hotel Denouement. It is left uncertain if Kevin survived the fire at the Hotel Denouement. Indeed, a Dickens denouement needs to be neat . . . Even his regular readers seldom saw a Macdonald denouement coming. The encore was described by Bono as a "denouement" intended as an ode to women. But the scene and the date of the denouement were changed by the enemy's movements. Flames engulf the Hotel Denouement, and Count Olaf gets away yet again. In the denouement, Nikolai kills himself, tortured by his own misdeeds.
