...grass green, and with this appropriate Easter finery steps forth for all the world to view. And, it must be owned, he cuts not a bad figure. In fact, if one's window be open to any of the vagrancies of early spring in Cambridge, one will find the Jester in a delightful mood, albeit a few of the stories and jokes he has for you are distinctly not after his best manner. There are, however, a sufficient number of high spots in his present repertoire to render the ensemble a product of very high quality, so high in fact...

On the other hand, the R. M. P. and N are in most appropriate lower-case block letters...
...murder in the first degree", declared Bob Lampoon, the incomparable jester, grand vizier and high lama at all of Lampy's festive functions. "When vandals slunk down under cover of a black and windy night and sever the life's blood of a tree, cherished by me for over three years, it is then time for the Cambridge Police to send in riot calls, and to deal death in the Brattle Square Police Station without the fruitless efforts of a trial...
