...amazing potpourri of commuter types. Of 513 non-residents this year, about 30 per cent are "non-resident members of residential Houses"--meaning that, after "living in" for two years, they have moved out for one reason or another, retaining "courtesy membership." These students do not, of course, belong to Dudley House...
...most startling comeback of many a show business season is being staged by a trio of Brillo-headed knockabouts called The Three Stooges. Historically, they belong to the era when the Marx Brothers crammed more humanity into a ship's stateroom than a dormitoryful of college students assaulting a telephone booth.

This excerpt, titled "Afternoon in Formia," concerns a ruse devised by two rakes giro and Lorenzo, to acquire bank funds that do not belong to them, and also, a devilish trick that Giro plays on Lorenzo, in which the latter, in an effort to demonstrate that a person consumed by pity blinds himself to reality, receives, for his services, not the roses that he anticipates, but rather, an unfortunate pelting of old artichokes and rotting lettuce heads...
