In the liner notes to "Bella Donna", the words "For Christine" are written near the lyrics on the album sleeve. It appears that the song was written in the 70's when Christine very briefly toyed with the idea of leaving Fleetwood Mac following her divorce from John. I suppose the tune is a persuasive piece to convince Lady McVie not to jump ship.
Post-1976/77, would Chris REALLY want to return to the days of playing gigs for $200 a night, traveling by cargo van, and lodging at The Holiday Inn? Honey, who would have to "think about it"? I think NOT. Bravo! With her uplifting tune, The High Priestess succeeded in delaying Chris' departure for at least two decades. Kudos!
