Let me see.

Seems to me, putting this and that and the other thing together, it's a sort of alphabet that spells something.

Spoon, tumbler, water, sugar,--brandy--that's it.

O-t-a-r-d is brandy.

Who put these things here?
What does it all mean?
Don't put sugar here for show, don't put a spoon here for ornament, nor a jug of water.
