L52-1: Mud is mud
Mycousin, Harry, keeps a large curiously shaped bottle on permanent display inhis study. Despite the fact that the bottle is tinted a delicate shade of green,an observant visitor would soon noticethat it is filled with what looks like a thick greyishsubstance. If you were to ask Harry what was in the bottle, he wouldtell you that it contained perfumed mud. If you expresseddoubt or surprise, he would immediately invite you to smell it and then to rub some into yourskin. This brief experiment would dispel any further doubts you might have. Thebottle really does contain perfumed mud. How Harry came into the possession of this outlandish stuff makes an interesting story which he isfond of relating. Furthermore, the acquisition of this bottle cured him of abad habit he had been developing for years.
