A lovable eccentric

/ə/ /ˈlʌvəbl/ /ɪkˈsɛntrɪk/

Dickie left the shop without a word and returned carrying a

/Dickie/ /lɛft/ /ðə/ /ʃɒp/ /wɪˈðaʊt/ /ə/ /wɜːd/ /ænd/ /rɪˈtɜːnd/ /ˈkæriɪŋ/ /eɪ/

large cloth bag. As it was extremely heavy, he dumped it on

/lɑːʤ/ /klɒθ/ /bæg./ /æz/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /ɪksˈtriːmli/ /ˈhɛvi,/ /hiː/ /dʌmpt/ /ɪt/ /ɒn/

the counter. The assistant asked him to leave, but Dickie

/ðə/ /ˈkaʊntə./ /ði/ /əˈsɪstənt/ /ɑːskt/ /hɪm/ /tuː/ /liːv,/ /bʌt/ /Dickie/

paid no attention to him and requested to see the manager.

/peɪd/ /nəʊ/ /əˈtɛnʃ(ə)n/ /tuː/ /hɪm/ /ænd/ /rɪˈkwɛstɪd/ /tuː/ /siː/ /ðə/ /ˈmænɪʤə./

Recognizing who the customer was, the manager was most

/ˈrɛkəgnaɪzɪŋ/ /huː/ /ðə/ /ˈkʌstəmə/ /wɒz,/ /ðə/ /ˈmænɪʤə/ /wɒz/ /məʊst/

apologetic and reprimanded the assistant severely. When

/əˌpɒləˈʤɛtɪk//ænd/ /ˈrɛprɪmɑːndɪd//ði/ /əˈsɪstənt/ /sɪˈvɪəli./ /wɛn/

Dickie was given the watch, he presented the assistant with

/Dickie/ /wɒz/ /ˈgɪvn/ /ðə/ /wɒʧ,/ /hiː/ /prɪˈzɛntɪd/ /ði/ /əˈsɪstənt/ /wɪð/

the cloth bag. It contained $300 in pennies. He insisted on

/ðə/ /klɒθ/ /bæg./ /ɪt/ /kənˈteɪnd/ /$300/ /ɪn/ /ˈpɛnɪz./ /hiː/ /ɪnˈsɪstɪd/ /ɒn/

the assistant's counting the money before he left -- 30,000

/ði/ /əˈsɪstənts/ /ˈkaʊntɪŋ/ /ðə/ /ˈmʌni/ /bɪˈfɔː/ /hiː/ /lɛft/ /--/ /30,000/

pennies in all! On another occasion, he invited a number of

/ˈpɛnɪz/ /ɪn/ /ɔːl!/ /ɒn/ /əˈnʌðər/ /əˈkeɪʒən,/ /hiː/ /ɪnˈvaɪtɪd/ /ə/ /ˈnʌmbər/ /ɒv/

important critics to see his private collection of modern

/ɪmˈpɔːtənt/ /ˈkrɪtɪks/ /tuː/ /siː/ /hɪz/ /ˈpraɪvɪt/ /kəˈlɛkʃən/ /ɒv/ /ˈmɒdən/

paintings. This exhibition received a great deal of attention

/ˈpeɪntɪŋz./ /ðɪs/ /ˌɛksɪˈbɪʃən/ /rɪˈsiːvd/ /ə/ /greɪt/ /diːl/ /ɒv/ /əˈtɛnʃ(ə)n/

in the press, for though the pictures were supposed to be the

/ɪn/ /ðə/ /prɛs,/ /fɔː/ /ðəʊ/ /ðə/ /ˈpɪkʧəz/ /wɜː/ /səˈpəʊzd/ /tuː/ /biː/ /ðiː/

work of famous artists, they had in fact been painted by

/wɜːk/ /ɒv/ /ˈfeɪməs/ /ˈɑːtɪsts,/ /ðeɪ/ /hæd/ /ɪn/ /fækt/ /biːn/ /ˈpeɪntɪd/ /baɪ/

Dickie. It took him four years to stage this elaborate joke

/Dickie./ /ɪt/ /tʊk/ /hɪm/ /fɔː/ /jɪəz/ /tuː/ /steɪʤ/ /ðɪs/ /ɪˈlæbərɪt/ /ʤəʊk/

simply to prove that critics do not always know what they

/ˈsɪmpli/ /tuː/ /pruːv/ /ðæt/ /ˈkrɪtɪks/ /duː/ /nɒt/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /nəʊ/ /wɒt/ /ðeɪ/

are talking about.
