Dear Laws of Silence:
First a bit of background on ectoplasm:
| Definition | A substance said to be excreted by mediums during trances; a slime-like substance said to be associated with hauntings. |
|---|---|
| Signature | Said to be white/gray/transparent or any other colour, viscous; resembling mucus. Said to ooze from solid objects or from mediums' bodies involving mucous membranes (nose, eyes, mouth), and to take form as a misty substance. |

The text above (minus "Source: Wikipedia") was electronically cut-up four times, re-formatted, the punctuation eliminated, and given an aleatory title (on the ectoplasm page, the words "with the" were typed into "find" and, when found, the next two words were selected). I wish I could say that this geste had no particular purpose and wish even more I didn't have to say that the result has no particular value. The cut-up tool has merely repeated only a few of the words several times and eliminated several others. The secrets liberated from inside this prison of words thus do not shed any light on my question (forthcoming). Cybernetic bibliomancy has led nowhere, so fate has forced you upon me.

So the point, the question, is this. You fellows obviously think of yourselves as what Tzara's vulgar herd would consider clever men; whereas this opinion is debatable, it is undeniable fact that you both have noses. Tell us, then, pray: Is Caspar indeed the ghost of Richie Rich?
