"Encircled by their joint grasp was a standing-cup of enamelled pink glass, thick with gilding. ‘That is mine,’ said Lionetto gently. ‘I ordered it last year from the sailing-master.’ His beard six inches away, Astorre exposed yellow teeth in a grin. ‘Indeed. He forgot to say so. I have paid for it.’ NR 7)
