L19-1：A very dearcat
/ə/ /ˈvɛri/ /dɪə/ /kæt/
Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals, but they
/ˈkɪdnæpəz/ /ɑː/ /ˈreəli/ /ˈɪntrɪstɪd/ /ɪn/ /ˈænɪməlz,/ /bʌt/ /ðeɪ/
recently took considerable interest in Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay's
/ˈriːsntli/ /tʊk/ /kənˈsɪdərəbl/ /ˈɪntrɪst/ /ɪn/ /Mrs./ /ˈɛlənɔː/ /Ramsay's/
cat. Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady,
/kæt./ /Mrs./ /ˈɛlənɔː/ /Ramsay,/ /ə/ /ˈvɛri/ /ˈwɛlθi/ /əʊld/ /ˈleɪdi,/
has shared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years.
/hæz/ /ʃeəd/ /ə/ /flæt/ /wɪð/ /hɜː/ /kæt,/ /Rastus,/ /fɔːr/ /ə/ /greɪt/ /ˈmɛni/ /jɪəz./
Rastus leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk
/Rastus/ /liːdz/ /ən/ /ˈɔːdəli/ /laɪf./ /hiː/ /ˈjuːʒʊəli/ /teɪks/ /ə/ /ʃɔːt/ /wɔːk/
in the evenings and is always home by seven o'clock. One
/ɪn/ /ði/ /ˈiːvnɪŋz/ /ænd/ /ɪz/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /həʊm/ /baɪ/ /ˈsɛvn/ /əˈklɒk./ /wʌn/
evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs. Ramsay got very
/ˈiːvnɪŋ,/ /haʊˈɛvə,/ /hiː/ /feɪld/ /tuː/ /əˈraɪv./ /Mrs./ /Ramsay/ /gɒt/ /ˈvɛri/
worried.
/ˈwʌrid./
She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.
/ʃiː/ /lʊkt/ /ˈɛvrɪweə/ /fɔː/ /hɪm/ /bʌt/ /kʊd/ /nɒt/ /faɪnd/ /hɪm./
Three days after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs. Ramsay
/θriː/ /deɪz/ /ˈɑːftə/ /Rastus'/ /ˌdɪsəˈpɪərəns,/ /Mrs./ /Ramsay/
received an anonymous letter. The writer stated that Rastus
/rɪˈsiːvd/ /ən/ /əˈnɒnɪməs/ /ˈlɛtə./ /ðə/ /ˈraɪtə/ /ˈsteɪtɪd/ /ðæt/ /Rastus/
was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs.
/wɒz/ /ɪn/ /seɪf/ /hændz/ /ænd/ /wʊd/ /biː/ /rɪˈtɜːnd/ /ɪˈmiːdiətli/ /ɪf/ /Mrs./
Ramsay paid a ransom of $1,000.
/Ramsay/ /peɪd/ /ə/ /ˈrænsəm/ /ɒv/ /$1,000./
