“The In Auction is coming up, and I have to devote all of my energy to making sure it’s a success…It’s called the ‘In Auction’ because we’re selling only things that are in. I always organize it, and it’s one of the most smashing events of the year!…We hold the auction at Veblen Hall, and we auction off only the innest things we can find, and best of all, all the money goes to a good cause. Me!…”
— Esmé, describing the In Auction to the Baudelaires
