An eccentric quip piece discusses Aunt Bella paying $25 for imported champrone and fretting about friends in hospital. The tone mocks social foibles and suggests lighthearted hesitation about giving a definite opinion. The excerpt mixes slang and playful misprints, typical of humorous newspaper fillers.
