Where she went/Visiting Armand
Beatrice didn't mean to disappear for two weeks while a friend was in trouble. It was mostly an accident. She was collecting ingredients for Cimorene's fireproofing spell from the plothole, and... well, how often do you get to see what a tear in the fabric of reality looks like? She probably shouldn't have crawled in that far. Or at least should have tied herself to something first. Up until the point where she fell, though, it just looked like an ordinary cupboard.
After she fell, it looked remarkably like her office in the Rhetorical Building. And then she couldn't get back.
She's spent the last fortnight trying to track down Mr Snicket, who was just as elusive as ever, and opening doors very quickly in the hope that there'd be something different on the other side. And then one day she simply walked into her office and found it was a bedroom.
The bats were fine, being trained to fend for themselves if she disappeared (in case she was ever kidnapped and didn't have time to find a sitter. Not that she can think of anyone specific who'd want to kidnap her, but you never know.) They were sulky, and Lucy nipped her hand while she was feeding them, but she thinks they'll recover.
She's more worried about Armand. The last time she saw him he was drunk and distraught, and she doesn't know what might have happened in the meantime. She finds the door to his rooms, and knocks a few times, nervously.
