I saw a little table in the great mosaic school in Florence a little trifle of a centre table whose top was made of some sort of precious polished stone, and in the stone was inlaid the figure of a flute, with bell-mouth and a mazy complication of keys.

There is a touching proof of Flinders' tender regard for his men in the naming of a small group of islands to the west of the bell-mouth of Spencer's Gulf. A boat's crew commanded by the mate, John Thistle, was drowned there, through the boat capsizing. Thistle was an excellent seaman, who had been one of Bass's whale-boat crew in 1798, and had volunteered for service with the Investigator.
"But, marching with the band, your size would not be noticed, especially as you would be carrying that great brass bass instrument with its huge bell-mouth." "Well, do you know, I'm beginning to like that idea, Smithson. But I'm not very clever over music. Big drum seems more in my way." "Oh, no. You could soon get on with a bass instrument. Have you ever learnt anything?"

"I'm much obliged to you, young man," she said, "and I'll take the turkey from you as a friend. Come in and have some apples there's a bell-mouth tree." "Oh yes!" said Verty, "I'm very fond of apples but Redbud may have some, too?" he added, smiling innocently. "Hum!" said the ogress. "Just a few, you know, ma'am," said Verty, with his bright smile.
The bell-mouth arquebuses could carry a large and heavy charge, but there was nothing like accuracy in their fire; and although a steady fire was kept up from the barricade, and many Spaniards fell; yet a larger number succeeded in making their way through the zone of fire, by taking advantage of the rocks and bushes; and these gathered, near the foot of the barricade.
There, that will do;" and Mr Vanslyperken wished to remove the basin with a little of the burgoo remaining in it. Snarleyyow growled, would have snapped at his master, but Mr Vanslyperken shoved him away with the bell-mouth of his speaking-trumpet, and recovering a portion of the mess, put it on the table for the use of poor Smallbones. "Now, then, my dog, we will go on deck."
It was an eminently proper but cheerful group, and the rector was the greatest boy of all. We tried to teach him how to shoot white rabbits, but abandoned the task finally, out of awful apprehension for ourselves. Had the reverend gentleman's weapon been a bell-mouth, some of us would assuredly have been slain. We were having a jolly time, our host furnishing, possibly, the one exception.
"It's a blooming wash-out, and was never any good. Old as an unpaid bill and worn bell-mouth it is, and nobody can fire with it." On a new rifle being obtained I passed the preliminary test, and a rather repentant instructor remarked that it might be possible to make a soldier of me some day.
