L52-3: Mud is mud

When the womanshook her head in bewilderment, Harry went on to explain that"Myrolite" was a hard, amber-like substance which could be used toremove freckles. This explanation evidently conveyed something to the woman whosearched shelf after shelf. She produced all sorts of weird concoctions, butnone of them met with Harry's requirements. When Harry put on his act of beingmildly annoyed, the assistant promised to order some for him. Intoxicated byhis success, Harry then asked for a perfumed mud. He expected the assistant tolook at him in blank astonishment. However, it was his turn to be surprised,for the woman's eyes immediately lit up and she fetched several bottles whichshe placed on the counter for Harry to inspect. For once, Harry had to admit defeat.He picked up what seemed to be the smallest bottle and discreetly asked theprice. He was glad to get away with a mere £20 and he beat a hasty retreat,clutching the precious bottle under his arm. From then on, Harry decided thatthis little game he had invented might prove to be expensive. The curiousbottle, which now adorns the bookcase in his study, was his first and lastpurchase of rare cosmetics.
