Among Miss Eagle's weekly dose of spam (sounds like an STD - perhaps a spam transmitted disease?), was the wonderful name of Providencia Sims.
Providencia....what a wonderful name, Miss E thought. So distinguished. Rolls off the tongue. And a virtue - like Faith, Hope, Charity, Felicity. Brings back memories of Evelyn Waugh's Bright Young Things. Miss Eagle mentioned it to Herself who wondered about the possibility of a sibling named Prudentia.
Of course, Miss E had to Google these wonderfully creative names didn't she. The balloon of presitigious nomenclature was thoroughly punctured.
Providencia is the name of a bacterium (how appropriate for a spammer). As for Prudentia, this is a favourite of the disciples of Mammon - investment banks and others of this genre.
