Commenter sarkan299 was correct — I did accidentally skip a page yesterday, so you all might want to roll back a day or two and then back forward. Sorry about that.
Nutty Monster on Campus: Act I, p. 16
I imagine Fnirp’s first name is something like Julius, but no one ever uses it, due to his attitude and the consequences of his behaviour.
I also imagine, given this appears to be set in the kind of improbable ’50s/’60s that wouldn’t look out of place in an episode of the Twilight Zone, that he has a stereotypical battleaxe of a wife who exclusively refers to him as “Fnirp!”, and that she has made him sorry he was ever born on multiple occasions.
I don’t see any rings on him.
True.
But at the time this is set, it was extremely rare to see a man wearing a wedding ring.
So a lack of rings isn’t a very accurate indicator of Fnirp’s marital status.
Nor the Provost’s, for that matter.
The dialogue is so inane you can’t tell it’s out of order.
