L52-3: Mud is mud
When the woman shook her head in bewilderment,
Harry went on to explain that "Myrolite" was a hard, amber-like substance which could be used to remove freckles.
This explanation evidently conveyed something to the woman who searched shelf after shelf.
She produced all sorts of weird concoctions,
but none of them met with Harry's requirements.
When Harry put on his act of being mildly annoyed,
the assistant promised to order some for him.
Intoxicated by his success,
Harry then asked for a perfumed mud.
He expected the assistant to look 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 which she 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 the price.
He was glad to get away with a mere £20 and he beat ahasty retreat,
clutching the precious bottle under his arm.
From then on,
Harry decided that this little game he had invented might prove to be expensive.
The curious bottle,
which now adorns the bookcase in his study,
was his first and last purchase of rare cosmetics.
