Help[Facts] Re: Beall
in reply to a message by Yahalome
I'm interested in the pronunciation you give! Some time in the late nineteenth century there were two excellent girls' schools in London with two formidable headmestresses called, respectively, Miss Buss and Miss Beale, and the girls apparently used to chant:
Miss Buss and Miss Beale
Cupid's darts do not feel.
How different from us,
Miss Beale and Miss Buss!

It always puzzled me, too, but I kinda figured it was just a Southern thing (USA). Let's see, she woulda been Texan.
