Harry does not need to be __pr_o_m_p_t_e_d(prompt) to explain how he bought his precious bottle of mud. One day, he went to an exclusive shop in London and asked for 'Myrolite', the shop assistant looked _p_uz_z_l_ed___(puzzle) and Harry __re_p_e_a_t_ed_(repeat) the word, slowly _s_t_r_es_s_in_g_(stress) each syllable. When the woman shook her head in bewilderment, Harry went on to explain that 'myrolite' was a hard, amberlike substance ________wchoiuclhd be used to remove freckles. This explanation evidently conveyed something to the woman ___w_h_o___ searched shelf after shelf. She produced all sorts of weird concoctions, but none of them met ___w_i_t_h__ Harry's requirements. When Harry put on his act of being mildly annoyed, the assistant promised to order some for him. Intoxicated by his success, Harry then asked for perfumed mud.
He expected the assistant ____t_o___ look at him in blank astonishment. However, it was his turn to be _s_u_r_p_ri_s_ed_(surprise), for the woman's eyes immediately lit up and she fetched several bottles which she placed on the counter for Harry to inspect. For once, Harry had to admit defeat. He picked up what seemed to be the smallest bottle and discreetly asked the price. He was glad to get away with a mere twenty pounds and he beat a hasty retreat, clutching the precious bottle under his arm. From then on, Harry decided that this little game he had invented might prove to be expensive. The curious bottle, ___w_h_ic_h__ now adorns the bookcase in his study, was his first and last purchase of rare cosmetics.

Harry used to consider ____i_t___ a great joke to go into expensive cosmetic shops and make outrageous requests ____f_o_r__ goods ___t_h_a_t__ do not exist. He would invent fanciful names on the spot. On _en_t_e_r_in_g__(enter) a shop, he would ask for a new perfume ____c_a_ll_e_d(call) 'Scented Shadow ' or for ' insoluble bath cubes'. If a shop assistant told him she had not heard of it, he would pretend to be co_n_s_id_e_r_a_b_ly(considerable) put out. He loved to be told that one of his imaginary products was temporarily out of stock and he would faithfully promise to call again at some future date, but of course he never did. How Harry managed to keep a straight face during these performances is quite beyond me.
My cousin, Harry, keeps a large curiously-shaped bottle on p_e_r_m_a_n_e_nt_(permanently) display in his study. Despite the fact _t_h_at_____ the bottle is tinted a delicate shade of green, an observant visitor would soon notice that it is ___f_il_le_d__(fill) with what looks like a thick, __g_r_a_y_is_h_(gray) substance. If you were to ask Harry what was in the bottle, he would tell you that it contained perfumed mud. If you _e_x_p_r_es_s_e_d(express) doubt or surprise, he would immediately invite you to smell it and then to rub some into your skin. This brief experiment would dispel any further doubts you might have. The bottle really does contain perfumed mud. How Harry came into the _po_s_s_e_ss_i_o_n(possess) of this outlandish stuff makes an interesting story ___th_a_t___ he is fond ___o_f____ relating. Furthermore, the acquisition of this bottle cured him ____o_f___ a bad habit he had been developing for years.
