Summary
(RARELY UPDATED)
Over the years, Ernest has seen many things.
Ernest’s first look at Madeline Ashton was from his friend, dragging him to the local theater in downtown New York to watch the latest movie—Thrust!—a new drama about a female blonde bandit known for swindling men out of their fortunes and running away on horseback, another box office drama that didn't do so well amongst reviewers but he himself found it quite entertaining.
Helen Sharp was his first date in months, long shifts kept him occupied and offered little to no free time for leisurely activities. She was kind, witty, and the type of nerdy girl beauty that made his heart skip.
OR
Years of Madeline and Helen’s tolls on Ernest from when he met them till his dying breath.
