Describing himself as "a man who, whatever be his faults, has a good liver and a smiling character," irrepressible Guglielmo Emanuel flatly denied ever having called anybody banjo-eyed and vowed he had never before heard the expression. "My Scotch terrier Banjo," he said, "has very-beautiful and tender eyes and is not exophthalmic. ... I am temperamentally unsuited to jibing. I am not a 'Mussolini-baiter.' I dissented from Fascism and Mussolini as any sincere Liberal would do -that is, on political grounds and not on personal ones...
