Sorry, posts keep being submitted while I'm typing.
Yes I got the OPINE and thought the "A little" was AL, but I suppose it could mean ALE shortened (ie without the E)
But it still doesn't include a reference to OPALINE, unless it's a brand name
I though OPINE=suggest
a
l=little
so OP-AL_INE in chambers dictionary OPALINE is relating to OPAL which is a rock/glass-not a good clue-unless there is an actual drink opaline
