L52-2:
Mud is mud
/mʌd/ /ɪz/ /mʌd/
Harry used to consider it a great joke to go into expensive
/ˈhæri/ /juːzd/ /tuː/ /kənˈsɪdər/ /ɪt/ /ə/ /greɪt/ /ʤəʊk/ /tuː/ /gəʊ/ /ˈɪntuː/ /ɪksˈpɛnsɪv/
cosmetic shops and make outrageous requests for goods
/kɒzˈmɛtɪk/ /ʃɒps/ /ænd/ /meɪk//aʊtˈreɪʤəs/ /rɪˈkwɛsts/ /fɔː/ /gʊdz/
that do not exist. He would invent fanciful names on the
/ðæt/ /duː/ /nɒt/ /ɪgˈzɪst./ /hiː/ /wʊd/ /ɪnˈvɛnt//ˈfænsɪfʊl/ /neɪmz/ /ɒn/ /ðiː/
spot. On entering a shop, he would ask for a new perfume
/spɒt./ /ɒn/ /ˈɛntərɪŋ/ /ə/ /ʃɒp,/ /hiː/ /wʊd/ /ɑːsk/ /fɔːr/ /ə/ /njuː/ /ˈpɜːfjuːm/
called 'Scented Shadow' or for 'insoluble bath cubes'. If a
/kɔːld/ /ˈsɛntɪd//ˈʃædəʊ/ /ɔː/ /fɔːr/ /ɪnˈsɒljʊbl/ /bɑːθ/ /kjuːbz./ /ɪf/ /eɪ/
shop assistant told him she had not heard of it, he would
/ʃɒp/ /əˈsɪstənt/ /təʊld/ /hɪm/ /ʃiː/ /hæd/ /nɒt/ /hɜːd/ /ɒv/ /ɪt,/ /hiː/ /wʊd/
pretend to be considerably put out. He loved to be told that
/prɪˈtɛnd/ /tuː/ /biː/ /kənˈsɪdərəbli/ /pʊt/ /aʊt./ /hiː/ /lʌvd/ /tuː/ /biː/ /təʊld/ /ðæt/
one of his imaginary products was temporarily out of stock
/wʌn/ /ɒv/ /hɪz/ /ɪˈmæʤɪnəri/ /ˈprɒdʌkts/ /wɒz/ /ˈtɛmpərərɪli//aʊt/ /ɒv/ /stɒk/
and he would faithfully promise to call again at some future
/ænd/ /hiː/ /wʊd/ /ˈfeɪθfʊli/ /ˈprɒmɪs/ /tuː/ /kɔːl/ /əˈgɛn/ /æt/ /sʌm/ /ˈfjuːʧə/
date, but of course he never did. How Harry managed to
/deɪt,/ /bʌt/ /ɒv/ /kɔːs/ /hiː/ /ˈnɛvə/ /dɪd./ /haʊ/ /ˈhæri/ /ˈmænɪʤd/ /tuː/
keep a straight face during these performances is quite
/kiːp/ /ə/ /streɪt/ /feɪs/ /ˈdjʊərɪŋ/ /ðiːz/ /pəˈfɔːmənsɪz/ /ɪz/ /kwaɪt/
beyond me. Harry does not need to be prompted to explain
/bɪˈjɒnd/ /miː./ /ˈhæri/ /dʌz/ /nɒt/ /niːd/ /tuː/ /biː/ /ˈprɒmptɪd/ /tuː/ /ɪksˈpleɪn/
how he bought his precious bottle of mud. One day, he went
/haʊ/ /hiː/ /bɔːt/ /hɪz/ /ˈprɛʃəs/ /ˈbɒtl/ /ɒv/ /mʌd.wʌn/ /deɪ,/ /hiː/ /wɛnt/
to an exclusive shop in London and asked for "Myrolite". The
/tuː/ /ən/ /ɪksˈkluːsɪv/ /ʃɒp/ /ɪn/ /ˈlʌndən/ /ænd/ /ɑːskt/ /fɔː//"Myrolite"./ /ðiː/
-shop assistant looked puzzled and Harry repeated the
/-ʃɒp/ /əˈsɪstənt/ /lʊkt/ /ˈpʌzld/ /ænd/ /ˈhæri/ /rɪˈpiːtɪd/ /ðiː/
word, slowly stressing each syllable.
/wɜːd,/ /ˈsləʊli/ /ˈstrɛsɪŋ/ /iːʧ//ˈsɪləbl./
