On one occasion in lecture the word bella happened to be mentioned. At this a member of the class, whose manners were clearly not sans reproche, observed to his neighbour, in a voice intended to be heard, “My girl’s name’s Bella.” At which came from the professor as quick as lightning, “Ah! Bella—horrida bella.”
