"The waiter recommended a Basque liqueur called Izzarra. He brought in the bottle and poured a liqueur-glass full. He said Izzarra was made of the flowers of the Pyranees. The veritable flowers of the Pyranees. It looked like hair-oil and smelled like Italian
strega
. I told him to take the flowers of the Pyranees away and bring me a
vieux marc
."
