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./
