HIGGINS


This is rather a bit of luck. I’ll shew you how I make
records. We’ll set her talking; and I’ll take it down first in
Bell’s Visible Speech; then in broad Romic; and then we’ll get
her on the phonograph so that you can turn her on as often as
you like with the written transcript before you.

MRS PEARCE

(returning)

This is the young woman, sir. -
The flower girl enters in state. She has a hat with three ostrich
feathers, orange, sky-blue, and red. She has a nearly clean apron,
and the shoddy coat has been tidied a little. The pathos of this de-
plorable figure, with its innocent vanity and consequential air,
touches Pickering, who has already straightened himself in the
presence of Mrs Pearce. But as to Higgins, the only distinction he
makes between men and women is that when he is neither bullying
nor exclaiming to the heavens against some feather-weight cross,
he coaxes women as a child coaxes its nurse when it wants to get
anything out of her. -
