Chapter 6 Eliza's ambition Higgins took a five pound note from his wallet and handed it to Eliza's father.0:00
Are you sure you don't want more?0:22
I can give you ten pounds if you like.0:25
Ten pounds is too much.0:29
Five pounds is all I want.0:32
Alfred hurried to the door, keen to get away with the money before Higgins changed his mind.0:35
It was then that he ran into a beautiful young lady in a simple blue cotton kimono with a pattern of white jasmine blossoms on it.0:40
Mrs. Pearce was with her.0:49
Excuse me, Miss, Alfred said respectfully, getting out of the lady's way.0:51
Blimey, said the lady in surprise.0:55
Don't you know your own daughter?0:59
Alfred looked up and realised the lady was not Japanese after all.1:01
In fact, she was his daughter, Eliza.1:06
He couldn't believe his eyes, and nor could Higgins and Pickering.1:09
They exclaimed simultaneously.1:15
Asked Higgins in surprise.1:24
He thought that Eliza looked quite beautiful.1:26
Mr. Higgins, please don't make the girl conceited about herself, said Mrs. Pearce at the door.1:29
I look all right with my hat on, said Eliza.1:35
She picked up her hat and put it on.1:38
Then she walked across the room to the fireplace with a fashionable air.1:40
Well, I never thought she'd be as good looking as that, Alfred said proudly.1:45
You'll come regularly to see your daughter, Higgins said to Alfred.1:50
Its your duty, you know.1:56
Alfred looked uncomfortable and moved towards the door.1:58
I can't come this week though, because I have a job out of town.2:03
Afternoon, gentlemen, said Alfred and hurried out of the door.2:08
Don't you believe the old liar, Eliza said to Higgins.2:16
You won't see him again in a hurry.2:20
I don't want to see him, Eliza, said Higgins.2:23
I don't want never to see him again.2:30
He's a disgrace to me, he is.2:33
I'm going to be a lady now.2:36
I should like to take a taxi to the corner of my street and get out there just to show everyone what I look like now.2:38
I wouldn't speak to them, you know.2:44
Perhaps you should wait until you have some more fashionable clothes, said Pickering.2:47
Your new things will be here soon.2:54
Besides, you shouldn't be rude to your old friends just because you have nicer clothes and a better place to live, said Higgins.2:57
You mustn't be a snob.3:05
Don't call them my friends, said Eliza.3:07
They laughed at me in the past, and now I want to put them in their place.3:10
But I'll wait for my clothes.3:14
Mrs. Pierce says I'll wear different clothes to sleep at night and different clothes in the daytime.3:16
Just then, Mrs. Pearce came back into the room.3:21
The new clothes have come for Eliza to try on, she announced.3:24
Eliza cried out excitedly and rushed out of the room with Mrs. Pearce following her.3:28
Higgins and Pickering looked at each other.3:34
We have taken on a difficult job, pickering said.3:36
Higgins and the Colonel nodded.3:40
