OK, friends, get out your thankin' buckets and let's have a set while we ponder this. What kind of house do you suppose Ernest T. Bass lives in? Do you reckon it is a house--in the usual sense of the word--at all? I mean, with walls and a floor and a roof? Or do you think, like I do, that he just might live in a cave? With various animals running in and out all the time, keeping him company and teaching him things, like how to wash his food before eating it. Somehow, that's the way I've always picture our fair Ernest T. He's always been a little closed-mouthed about his personal life, and you know me and the girls over at the Dime Store, we don't like to pry. Yes, we like to gossip and at times we like to question; but we never, ever like to pry. But I can just picture him out there in his cave with his wild (tame to him) animals. I know he basically wears the same clothes, except for the time Barney loaned him his uniform and that suit they bought him for Mrs. Wiley's party, and those clothes are none too clean. But then, Ernest T. doesn't stink too bad when he comes in the store; but that may be because Lydia is always buying some smell good stuff to splash on him. His special favorite is Midnight in Paris. Says it reminds him of the lovely Hogette (it's French) Winslowe. Laura Lee Hobbs, Dime Store Clerk and Gold Truck Watcher and always curious (but never prying) about Ernest T. Bass "We thought about killing him, but we kind of hated having to take it that far." Mr. Darling.
