A very dear cat
/ə/ /ˈvɛri/ /dɪə/ /kæt/
Mrs. Ramsay was instructed to place the money in a
/Mrs./ /Ramsay/ /wɒz/ /ɪnˈstrʌktɪd/ /tuː/ /pleɪs/ /ðə/ /ˈmʌni/ /ɪn/ /eɪ/
cardboard box and to leave it outside her door. At first she
/ˈkɑːdbɔːd/ /bɒks/ /ænd/ /tuː/ /liːv/ /ɪt/ /ˌaʊtˈsaɪd/ /hɜː/ /dɔː./ /æt/ /fɜːst/ /ʃiː/
decided to go to the police, but fearing that she would never
/dɪˈsaɪdɪd/ /tuː/ /gəʊ/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /pəˈliːs,/ /bʌt/ /ˈfɪərɪŋ/ /ðæt/ /ʃiː/ /wʊd/ /ˈnɛvə/
see Rastus again -- the letter had made that quite clear -- she
/siː/ /Rastus/ /əˈgɛn/ /--/ /ðə/ /ˈlɛtə/ /hæd/ /meɪd/ /ðæt/ /kwaɪt/ /klɪə/ /--/ /ʃiː/
changed her mind. She withdrew $1000 from her bank and
/ʧeɪnʤd/ /hɜː/ /maɪnd./ /ʃiː/ /wɪðˈdruː/ /$1000/ /frɒm/ /hɜː/ /bæŋk/ /ænd/
followed the kidnapper's instructions. The next morning, the
/ˈfɒləʊd/ /ðə/ /ˈkɪdnæpəz/ /ɪnˈstrʌkʃənz./ /ðə/ /nɛkst/ /ˈmɔːnɪŋ,/ /ðiː/
box had disappeared but Mrs. Ramsay was sure that the
/bɒks/ /hæd/ /ˌdɪsəˈpɪəd/ /bʌt/ /Mrs./ /Ramsay/ /wɒz/ /ʃʊə/ /ðæt/ /ðiː/
kidnapper would keep hisword. Sure enough, Rastus arrived
/ˈkɪdnæpə/ /wʊd/ /kiːp/ /hɪz/ /wɜːd./ /ʃʊər/ /ɪˈnʌf,/ /Rastus/ /əˈraɪvd/
punctually at seven o'clock that evening. He looked very
/ˈpʌŋktjʊəli/ /æt/ /ˈsɛvn/ /əˈklɒk/ /ðæt/ /ˈiːvnɪŋ./ /hiː/ /lʊkt/ /ˈvɛri/
well though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a bottle
/wɛl/ /ðəʊ/ /hiː/ /wɒz/ /ˈrɑːðə/ /ˈθɜːsti,/ /fɔː/ /hiː/ /dræŋk/ /hɑːf/ /ə/ /ˈbɒtl/
of milk. The police were astounded when Mrs. Ramsay told
/ɒv/ /mɪlk./ /ðə/ /pəˈliːs/ /wɜːr/ /əsˈtaʊndɪd/ /wɛn/ /Mrs./ /Ramsay/ /təʊld/
them what she had done.
/ðɛm/ /wɒt/ /ʃiː/ /hæd/ /dʌn./
She explained that Rastus was very dear to her. Considering
/ʃiː/ /ɪksˈpleɪnd/ /ðæt/ /Rastus/ /wɒz/ /ˈvɛri/ /dɪə/ /tuː/ /hɜː./ /kənˈsɪdərɪŋ/
the amount she paid, he was dearin more ways than one!
/ði/ /əˈmaʊnt/ /ʃiː/ /peɪd,/ /hiː/ /wɒz/ /dɪər/ /ɪn/ /mɔː/ /weɪz/ /ðæn/ /wʌn!/
