L19-1：A very dearcat

/ə/ /ˈvɛri/ /dɪə/ /kæt/

Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals, but they

/ˈkɪdnæpəz/ /ɑː/ /ˈreəli/ /ˈɪntrɪstɪd/ /ɪn/ /ˈænɪməlz,/ /bʌt/ /ðeɪ/

recently took considerable interest in Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay's

/ˈriːsntli/ /tʊk/ /kənˈsɪdərəbl/ /ˈɪntrɪst/ /ɪn/ /Mrs./ /ˈɛlənɔː/ /Ramsay's/

cat. Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady,

/kæt./ /Mrs./ /ˈɛlənɔː/ /Ramsay,/ /ə/ /ˈvɛri/ /ˈwɛlθi/ /əʊld/ /ˈleɪdi,/

has shared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years.

/hæz/ /ʃeəd/ /ə/ /flæt/ /wɪð/ /hɜː/ /kæt,/ /Rastus,/ /fɔːr/ /ə/ /greɪt/ /ˈmɛni/ /jɪəz./

Rastus leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk

/Rastus/ /liːdz/ /ən/ /ˈɔːdəli/ /laɪf./ /hiː/ /ˈjuːʒʊəli/ /teɪks/ /ə/ /ʃɔːt/ /wɔːk/

in the evenings and is always home by seven o'clock. One

/ɪn/ /ði/ /ˈiːvnɪŋz/ /ænd/ /ɪz/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /həʊm/ /baɪ/ /ˈsɛvn/ /əˈklɒk./ /wʌn/

evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs. Ramsay got very

/ˈiːvnɪŋ,/ /haʊˈɛvə,/ /hiː/ /feɪld/ /tuː/ /əˈraɪv./ /Mrs./ /Ramsay/ /gɒt/ /ˈvɛri/

worried.

/ˈwʌrid./

She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.

/ʃiː/ /lʊkt/ /ˈɛvrɪweə/ /fɔː/ /hɪm/ /bʌt/ /kʊd/ /nɒt/ /faɪnd/ /hɪm./

Three days after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs. Ramsay

/θriː/ /deɪz/ /ˈɑːftə/ /Rastus'/ /ˌdɪsəˈpɪərəns,/ /Mrs./ /Ramsay/

received an anonymous letter. The writer stated that Rastus

/rɪˈsiːvd/ /ən/ /əˈnɒnɪməs/ /ˈlɛtə./ /ðə/ /ˈraɪtə/ /ˈsteɪtɪd/ /ðæt/ /Rastus/

was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs.

/wɒz/ /ɪn/ /seɪf/ /hændz/ /ænd/ /wʊd/ /biː/ /rɪˈtɜːnd/ /ɪˈmiːdiətli/ /ɪf/ /Mrs./

Ramsay paid a ransom of $1,000.
