Act I - 08 Act II - 42 Act III - 118 Act IV - 167 Act V - 191 LIZA Yes: things that shewed you thought and felt about me as if I were something better than a scullery-maid; though of course I know you would have been just the same to a scullery-maid if she had been let into the drawing room. You never took off your boots in the dining room when I was there. PICKERING You mustnt mind that. Higgins takes off his boots all over the place. LIZA I know. I am not blaming him. It is his way, isnt it? But it made such a difference to me that you didnt do it. You see, really and truly, apart from the things anyone can pick up (the dressing and the proper way of speaking, and so on), the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she’s treated. I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins, because he always treats me as a flower girl, and always will; but I know I can be a lady to you, because you always treat me as a lady, and always will. MRS HIGGINS Please dont grind your teeth, Henry. Act I - 08 Act II - 42 Act III - 118 Act IV - 167 Act V - 191 |
