(I had to look up “jollity”, to see if it was listed as archaic. Surprisingly, it wasn’t. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word used before. Must be a Brit thing. But, it was the word “crowds” that was solved last. These two words made this a challenging solve. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
