A happy discovery

/ə/ /ˈhæpi/ /dɪsˈkʌvəri/

My old friend, Frank Halliday, is just such a person. He has

/maɪ/ /əʊld/ /frɛnd,/ /fræŋk/ /Halliday,/ /ɪz/ /ʤʌst/ /sʌʧ/ /ə/ /ˈpɜːsn./ /hiː/ /hæz/

often described to me how he picked up a masterpiece for a

/ˈɒf(ə)n/ /dɪsˈkraɪbd/ /tuː/ /miː/ /haʊ/ /hiː/ /pɪkt/ /ʌp/ /ə/ /ˈmɑːstəpiːs/ /fɔːr/ /eɪ/

mere$50.

/mɪə/ /$50./

One Saturday morning, Frank visited an antique shop in my

/wʌn/ /ˈsætədeɪ/ /ˈmɔːnɪŋ,/ /fræŋk/ /ˈvɪzɪtɪd/ /ən/ /ænˈtiːk/ /ʃɒp/ /ɪn/ /maɪ/

neighbourhood. As he had never been there before, he

/ˈneɪbəhʊd./ /æz/ /hiː/ /hæd/ /ˈnɛvə/ /biːn/ /ðeə/ /bɪˈfɔː,/ /hiː/

found a great deal to interest him. The morning passed

/faʊnd/ /ə/ /greɪt/ /diːl/ /tuː/ /ˈɪntrɪst/ /hɪm./ /ðə/ /ˈmɔːnɪŋ/ /pɑːst/

rapidly and Frank was about to leave when he noticed a

/ˈræpɪdli/ /ænd/ /fræŋk/ /wɒz/ /əˈbaʊt/ /tuː/ /liːv/ /wɛn/ /hiː/ /ˈnəʊtɪst/ /eɪ/

large packing case lying on the floor. The dealer told him

/lɑːʤ/ /ˈpækɪŋ/ /keɪs/ /ˈlaɪɪŋ/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /flɔː./ /ðə/ /ˈdiːlə/ /təʊld/ /hɪm/

that it had just come in, but that he could not be bothered

/ðæt/ /ɪt/ /hæd/ /ʤʌst/ /kʌm/ /ɪn,/ /bʌt/ /ðæt/ /hiː/ /kʊd/ /nɒt/ /biː/ /ˈbɒðəd/

to open it. Frank begged him to do so and the dealer

/tuː/ /ˈəʊpən/ /ɪt./ /fræŋk/ /bɛgd/ /hɪm/ /tuː/ /duː/ /səʊ/ /ænd/ /ðə/ /ˈdiːlə/

reluctantly prised it open. The contents were disappointing.

/rɪˈlʌktəntli/ /praɪzd/ /ɪt/ /ˈəʊpən./ /ðə/ /ˈkɒntɛnts/ /wɜː/ /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪntɪŋ./

Apart from an interesting-looking carved dagger, the box

/əˈpɑːt/ /frɒm/ /ən/ /ˈɪntrɪstɪŋ-ˈlʊkɪŋ/ /kɑːvd/ /ˈdægə,/ /ðə/ /bɒks/

was full of crockery, much of it broken. Frank gently lifted

/wɒz/ /fʊl/ /ɒv/ /ˈkrɒkəri,/ /mʌʧ/ /ɒv/ /ɪt/ /ˈbrəʊkən./ /fræŋk/ /ˈʤɛntli/ /ˈlɪftɪd/

the crockery out of the box and suddenly noticed a

/ðə/ /ˈkrɒkəri/ /aʊt/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /bɒks/ /ænd/ /ˈsʌdnli/ /ˈnəʊtɪst/ /eɪ/

miniature painting at the bottom of the packing case. As its

/ˈmɪnəʧə/ /ˈpeɪntɪŋ/ /æt/ /ðə/ /ˈbɒtəm/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /ˈpækɪŋ/ /keɪs./ /æz/ /ɪts/

composition and line reminded him of an Italian painting he 

/ˌkɒmpəˈzɪʃən/ /ænd/ /laɪn/ /ˈrɪmaɪndɪd/ /hɪm/ /ɒv/ /ən/ /ɪˈtæliən/ /ˈpeɪntɪŋ/ /hiː/

knew well, he decided to buy it.Glancing at it briefly, the

/njuː/ /wɛl,/ /hiː/ /dɪˈsaɪdɪd/ /tuː/ /baɪ/ /ɪt.//ˈglɑːnsɪŋ/ /æt/ /ɪt/ /ˈbriːfli,/ /ðiː/

dealer told him that it was worth £50. Frank could hardly

/ˈdiːlə/ /təʊld/ /hɪm/ /ðæt/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /wɜːθ/ /£50./ /fræŋk/ /kʊd/ /ˈhɑːdli/

conceal his excitement, for he knew that he had made a real

/kənˈsiːl/ /hɪz/ /ɪkˈsaɪtmənt,/ /fɔː/ /hiː/ /njuː/ /ðæt/ /hiː/ /hæd/ /meɪd/ /ə/ /rɪəl/

discovery. The tiny painting proved to be an unknown

/dɪsˈkʌvəri./ /ðə/ /ˈtaɪni/ /ˈpeɪntɪŋ/ /pruːvd/ /tuː/ /biː/ /ən/ /ʌnˈnəʊn/

masterpiece by Correggio and was worth hundreds of

/ˈmɑːstəpiːs/ /baɪ/ /Correggio/ /ænd/ /wɒz/ /wɜːθ/ /ˈhʌndrədz/ /ɒv/

thousands of pounds.
