When Harry put on his act of being mildly annoyed,the assistant promised to order some for him.(2)_______________________.However,it was his turn to be be surprised,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. (3)_______________________.From then on, Harry decided that this little game he had invented might prove to be expensive.The curious bottle,which now adorns the bookcase in his study,was his first and last purchase of rare cosmetics.
