Caryll leaning there, his little eyes beamed an instant, as do the eyes of one who espies a friend, or apter figure the eyes of the hunter when they sight the quarry. He advanced to the bar, bowing to Mr. Caryll with an air almost apologetic, and to the landlady with an air scarcely less so, as he asked for a nipperkin of ale to wash the dust of the road from his throat.
You think of Sagittarius, in the broad circle of the Zodiac; you recollect that archery is as old as Genesis; you are reminded that Ishmael, the son of Hagar, wandered about the Judæan deserts and became an archer. Edwin. He was well known in Nipperkin, one of Munden's parts. Farley...Knight...Liston. Sir Christopher Curry...Old Dornton.

Who can forget his stare in being detected in his fuddling as Dozey, and his plea for drinking to "wa-ash down your honour's health:" or his anti-polarity as Nipperkin, when his very legs seemed drunk beneath him; his attempt to set down the keg would stagger the disbelievers of perpetual motion.

Opening a cupboard, I found half a loaf of bread, a nipperkin of milk, and a rind of cheese. "Eat," said I, "and think it's rabbit-stew." I made her take all the milk, but shared the bread and cheese.
Well, then, here is to your good health! for you must know, I have set a nipperkin of toddy by me, just by way of spell, to keep away the meikle horned deil, or any of his subaltern imps who may be on their nightly rounds. But what shall I write to you? "The voice said, cry," and I said, "What shall I cry?"
He was interrupted by more stamping at the door, and presently the party from the mansion-house entered, followed by the Indian himself. Theres quart-pot, pint-pot. Mit-pint, Gill-pot, half-gill. nipperkin. And the brown bowl Heres a health to the barley mow, My brave boys, Heres a health to the barley mow. Drinking Song.
