L52-3:
Mud is mud
/mʌd/ /ɪz/ /mʌd/
When the woman shook her head in bewilderment, Harry
/wɛn/ /ðə/ /ˈwʊmən/ /ʃʊk/ /hɜː/ /hɛd/ /ɪn/ /ˈbɪˈwɪldəmənt,/ /ˈhæri/
went on to explain that "Myrolite" was a hard, amber-like
/wɛnt/ /ɒn/ /tuː/ /ɪksˈpleɪn/ /ðæt/ /"Myrolite"/ /wɒz/ /ə/ /hɑːd,/ /ˈæmbə-laɪk/
substance which could be used to remove freckles. This
/ˈsʌbstəns/ /wɪʧ/ /kʊd/ /biː/ /juːzd/ /tuː/ /rɪˈmuːv//ˈfrɛklz./ /ðɪs/
explanation evidently conveyed something to the woman
/ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/ /ˈɛvɪdəntli/ /kənˈveɪd/ /ˈsʌmθɪŋ/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /ˈwʊmən/
who searched shelf after shelf. She produced all sorts of
/huː/ /sɜːʧt/ /ʃɛlf/ /ˈɑːftə/ /ʃɛlf./ /ʃiː/ /prəˈdjuːst/ /ɔːl/ /sɔːts/ /ɒv/
weird concoctions, but none of them met with Harry's
/wɪəd/ /kənˈkɒkʃənz,/ /bʌt/ /nʌn/ /ɒv/ /ðɛm/ /mɛt/ /wɪð/ /ˈhæriz/
requirements. When Harry put on his act of being mildly
/rɪˈkwaɪəmənts./ /wɛn/ /ˈhæri/ /pʊt/ /ɒn/ /hɪz/ /ækt/ /ɒv/ /ˈbiːɪŋ/ /ˈmaɪldli/
annoyed, the assistant promised to order some for him.
/əˈnɔɪd,/ /ði/ /əˈsɪstənt/ /ˈprɒmɪst/ /tuː/ /ˈɔːdə/ /sʌm/ /fɔː/ /hɪm./
Intoxicated by his success, Harry then asked for a perfumed
/ɪnˈtɒksɪkeɪtɪd/ /baɪ/ /hɪz/ /səkˈsɛs,/ /ˈhæri/ /ðɛn/ /ɑːskt/ /fɔːr/ /ə/ /pəˈfjuːmd/
mud. He expected the assistant to look at him in blank
/mʌd./ /hiː/ /ɪksˈpɛktɪd/ /ði/ /əˈsɪstənt/ /tuː/ /lʊk/ /æt/ /hɪm/ /ɪn/ /blæŋk/
astonishment. However, it was his turn to be surprised, for
/əsˈtɒnɪʃmənt./ /haʊˈɛvə,/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /hɪz/ /tɜːn/ /tuː/ /biː/ /səˈpraɪzd,/ /fɔː/
the woman's eyes immediately lit up and she fetched several
/ðə/ /ˈwʊmənz/ /aɪz/ /ɪˈmiːdiətli/ /lɪt/ /ʌp/ /ænd/ /ʃiː/ /fɛʧt//ˈsɛvrəl/
bottles which she placed on the counter for Harry to inspect.
/ˈbɒtlz/ /wɪʧ/ /ʃiː/ /pleɪst/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /ˈkaʊntə/ /fɔː/ /ˈhæri/ /tuː/ /ɪnˈspɛkt./
For once, Harry had to admit defeat. He picked up what
/fɔː/ /wʌns,/ /ˈhæri/ /hæd/ /tuː/ /ədˈmɪt/ /dɪˈfiːt./ /hiː/ /pɪkt/ /ʌp/ /wɒt/
seemed to be the smallest bottle and discreetly asked the
/siːmd/ /tuː/ /biː/ /ðə/ /ˈsmɔːlɪst/ /ˈbɒtl/ /ænd/ /dɪsˈkriːtli/ /ɑːskt/ /ðiː/
price. He was glad to get away with a mere £20 and he beat a
/praɪs./ /hiː/ /wɒz/ /glæd/ /tuː/ /gɛt/ /əˈweɪ/ /wɪð/ /ə/ /mɪə/ /£20/ /ænd/ /hiː/ /biːt/ /eɪ/
hasty retreat, clutching the precious bottle under his arm.
/ˈheɪsti/ /rɪˈtriːt,/ /ˈklʌʧɪŋ//ðə/ /ˈprɛʃəs/ /ˈbɒtl/ /ˈʌndə/ /hɪz/ /ɑːm./
From then on, Harry decided that this little game he had
/frɒm/ /ðɛn/ /ɒn,/ /ˈhæri/ /dɪˈsaɪdɪd/ /ðæt/ /ðɪs/ /ˈlɪtl/ /geɪm/ /hiː/ /hæd/
invented might prove to be expensive. The curious bottle,
/ɪnˈvɛntɪd/ /maɪt/ /pruːv/ /tuː/ /biː/ /ɪksˈpɛnsɪv./ /ðə/ /ˈkjʊərɪəs/ /ˈbɒtl,/
which now adorns the bookcase in his study, was his first
/wɪʧ/ /naʊ//əˈdɔːnz/ /ðə/ /ˈbʊkkeɪs/ /ɪn/ /hɪz/ /ˈstʌdi,/ /wɒz/ /hɪz/ /fɜːst/
and last purchase of rare cosmetics.
