Act I - 08 Act II - 42 Act III - 118 Act IV - 167 Act V - 191 HIGGINS (disarmed) Alfred: did you put her up to it? DOOLITTLE So help me, Governor, I never did. I take my Bible oath I aint seen the girl these two months past. HIGGINS Then how did you know she was here? DOOLITTLE (“most musical, most melancholy”) I’ll tell you, Governor, if youll only let me get a word in. I’m will- ing to tell you. I’m wanting to tell you. I’m waiting to tell you. HIGGINS Pickering: this chap has a certain natural gift of rhetoric. Observe the rhythm of his native woodnotes wild. “I’m willing to tell you: I’m wanting to tell you: I’m waiting to tell you." Sentimental rhetoric! thats the Welsh strain in him. It also accounts for his mendacity and dishonesty. Act I - 08 Act II - 42 Act III - 118 Act IV - 167 Act V - 191 |
