L49-3:

The ideal servant

/ði/ /aɪˈdɪəl/ /ˈsɜːvənt/

Not only was the meal well below the usual standard, but

/nəʊ/ /ˈəʊnli/ /wɒz/ /ðə/ /miːl/ /wɛl/ /bɪˈləʊ/ /ðə/ /ˈjuːʒʊəl/ /ˈstændəd,/ /bʌt/

Bessie seemed unable to walk steadily. She bumped into the

/Bessie/ /siːmd/ /ʌnˈeɪbl/ /tuː/ /wɔːk/ /ˈstɛdɪli./ /ʃiː//bʌmpt//ˈɪntuː/ /ðiː/

furniture and kept mumbling about the guests. When she

/ˈfɜːnɪʧər/ /ænd/ /kɛpt//ˈmʌmblɪŋ/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ðə/ /gɛsts./ /wɛn/ /ʃiː/

came in with the last course -- a huge pudding -- shetripped

/keɪm/ /ɪn/ /wɪð/ /ðə/ /lɑːst/ /kɔːs/ /--/ /ə/ /hjuːʤ//ˈpʊdɪŋ/ /--/ /ʃiː/ /trɪpt/

on the carpetand the pudding went flying through the air,

/ɒn/ /ðə//ˈkɑːpɪt/ /ænd/ /ðə/ /ˈpʊdɪŋ/ /wɛnt/ /ˈflaɪɪŋ/ /θruː/ /ði/ /eə,/

narrowly missing my aunt, and crashed on the dining table

/ˈnærəʊli/ /mɪst/ /maɪ/ /ɑːnt,/ /ænd/ /kræʃt/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /ˈdaɪnɪŋ/ /ˈteɪbl/

with considerable force. Though this caused great mirth

/wɪð/ /kənˈsɪdərəbl/ /fɔːs./ /ðəʊ/ /ðɪs/ /kɔːzd/ /greɪt//mɜːθ/

among the guests, Aunt Harriet was horrified. She

/əˈmʌŋ/ /ðə/ /gɛsts,/ /ɑːnt/ /ˈhærɪət/ /wɒz/ /ˈhɒrɪfaɪd./ /ʃiː/

reluctantly came to the conclusion that Bessie was drunk.

/rɪˈlʌktəntli/ /keɪm/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /kənˈkluːʒən/ /ðæt/ /Bessie/ /wɒz/ /drʌŋk./

The guests had, of course, realized this from the moment

/ðə/ /gɛsts/ /hæd,/ /ɒv/ /kɔːs,/ /ˈrɪəlaɪzd/ /ðɪs/ /frɒm/ /ðə/ /ˈməʊmənt/

Bessie opened the door for them and, long before the final

/Bessie/ /ˈəʊpənd/ /ðə/ /dɔː/ /fɔː/ /ðɛm/ /ænd,/ /lɒŋ/ /bɪˈfɔː/ /ðə/ /ˈfaɪnl/

catastrophe, and had a difficult time trying to conceal their

/kəˈtæstrəfi,//hæd/ /hæd/ /ə/ /ˈdɪfɪkəlt/ /taɪm/ /ˈtraɪɪŋ/ /tuː//kənˈsiːl/ /ðeə/

amusement. The poor girl was dismissed instantly. After her

/əˈmjuːzmənt.//ðə/ /pʊə/ /gɜːl/ /wɒz/ /dɪsˈmɪst/ /ˈɪnstəntli./ /ˈɑːftə/ /hɜː/

departure, Aunt Harriet discovered that there were piles of

/dɪˈpɑːʧə,/ /ɑːnt/ /ˈhærɪət/ /dɪsˈkʌvəd/ /ðæt/ /ðeə/ /wɜː/ /paɪlz/ /ɒv/

empty wine bottles of all shapes and sizes neatly stacked in

/ˈɛmpti/ /waɪn/ /ˈbɒtlz/ /ɒv/ /ɔːl/ /ʃeɪps/ /ænd/ /ˈsaɪzɪz//ˈniːtli/ /stækt/ /ɪn/

what had once been Bessie's wardrobe. They had

/wɒt/ /hæd/ /wʌns/ /biːn/ /Bessie's//ˈwɔːdrəʊb./ /ðeɪ/ /hæd/

mysteriouslyf ound their way there from the wine cellar!
