— Mrs. Bass in The Penultimate Peril
|
Mrs. Bass was Klaus Baudelaire and Isadora Quagmire's teacher at Prufrock Preparatory School in the A Series of Unfortunate Events book The Austere Academy.
Biography
In the books, it is mentioned her black hair was so long and messy that she vaguely resembled a gorilla.
Mrs. Bass was a teacher obsessed with the metric system. Each day she made students measure anything she could find and had them call it out in class. She would write the measurements on the board and then the students would switch items.
She thinks that Klaus is very smart and nice as she states so in The Austere Academy, when giving out hard tests to Violet and Klaus.
In the TV series adaptation of The Carnivorous Carnival, she and Mr. Remora go to Caligari Carnival to watch someone get devoured by lions. She has a bag of money in her hands.
In The Penultimate Peril, she returns at Hotel Denouement as a guest alongside Vice-Principal Nero and Mr. Remora. When Dewey Denouement is killed, Mrs. Bass states that the Baudelaire children are criminals that should be punished which Hugo agreed with her on. During the trial of the Baudelaire children and Count Olaf, she submits blueprints of banks as evidence. When the Baudelaire children discover that Count Olaf has Justice Strauss and that the other two judges are the Man With a Beard But No Hair and the Woman With Hair But No Beard, they try to talk the trial attendees into taking off their blindfolds. As different people argue about the innocence of the Baudelaire children, Mrs. Bass claimed that the Baudelaire children rob banks to which Arthur Poe quotes "Who said that?" When the Hotel Denouement Fire is started, Mrs. Bass was last seen on the third story muttering something about a getaway car.
It is not clear if Mrs. Bass escapes the fire at the hotel. However, it is possible she did because in The Austere Academy, Lemony Snicket states that Prufrock Preparatory School closed after she was arrested for robbing Mr. Poe's bank, and she still seems to be on the lam in The Penultimate Peril. Some theorize she stole the Baudelaire Fortune as there is a pile of large bulky bags in her hotel room with "PROPERTY OF MULCTUARY MONEY MANAGEMENT" stamped on them.
Behind the scenes
In the Netflix adaptation, she is played by B.J. Harrison.

Quotes
- "Pop quiz! Question number one. What is the circumference of yesterday's pomegranate? Question two: What are the dimensions of the vault at Mulctuary Money Management? Question three: how far apart in decimeters are the security cameras? I need you to really pay attention to these numbers and give me exactly what I'm asking for."
Trivia
- Mrs. Bass, Ms. Tench and Mr. Remora are named after fish, possibly because a group of fish is called a school.
