When it came to Mr. Turnbull, he held it up between him and the light, "Keatie, whaten a niff-naff of a glass is this? let us see a feasible ane."

"They appear, friend," I reply, unhelpfully and without irony, as if any niff-naff who owns a megayacht with a decent liquor cabinet would know such a thing, "rather like the color of absinthe."
