Mimicry SADNESS. After leaving Lucky Smells Lumbermill and optimistic Phil behind, the Baudelaire orphans travel to Prufrock Prep, a boarding school with mossy streets and ugly gray buildings that look like tombstones; here they meet Vice Principal Nero, an insufferable character who enjoys mimicry
