Chapter 11.0:00
After the party it was midnight, but Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering were wide awake.0:01
They had just returned from a very busy day.0:20
First they had attended the Ambassador's party, then a dinner party, and then the opera.0:22
They had taken Eliza to the very best places and introduced her to the very best people.0:28
And it had been a huge success.0:34
Eliza was dressed like a princess in a stunning evening dress and opera cloak, with diamonds sparkling on her ears and round her neck.0:37
She looked tired and pale, but the two men were too busy talking about their achievement to notice her.0:46
Oh, Lord, what an evening.0:53
Said Higgins, yawning and looking around for his slippers.0:58
Well, I feel a bit tired.1:01
It's been a long day.1:04
But you've won your bet, Higgins, said Pickering, stretching himself.1:07
Thank God it's over.1:12
The thing was interesting at first, but then I got incredibly bored.1:14
Anyhow, it was a great success, said Pickering.1:18
I was even frightened once or twice because Eliza was doing it so well.1:23
Better than the real upper class people.1:30
What silly people.1:33
At last I can go to bed without dreading tomorrow, said Higgins, rising.1:35
I think I shall turn in, too.1:40
At that, the two men left the room and went upstairs to bed, leaving Eliza staring furiously into the flames of the fire.1:43
When she was sure they could not hear her, she burst into tears.1:51
Suddenly, Higgins appeared in the doorway.1:59
What on earth have I done with my slippers?2:01
He murmured to himself.2:03
The slippers were on the floor by the fire.2:05
Eliza picked them up and threw them at the professor.2:07
What?2:11
Cried Higgins in surprise.2:12
What's the matter?2:13
Is there something wrong?2:15
Oh, no.2:16
Cried Eliza.2:18
There's nothing wrong with you.2:19
I've won your bet for you, and you're just fine.2:21
But what about me?2:24
What's going to happen to me now?2:26
You won my bet.2:28
You.2:30
I won it.2:31
Yelled Higgins.2:32
Why did you throw those slippers at me?2:34
How on earth do I know what is going to happen to you?2:37
Oh, you don't care.2:40
I'm nothing to you.2:43
You care more about them slippers.2:45
Screamed Eliza angrily, threatening him with her nails.2:47
How dare you.2:50
And it's those slippers, said Higgins sternly.2:52
What difference does it make now?2:55
Asked Eliza sadly.2:58
Just one thing.2:59
Do my clothes belong to me?3:01
I don't want to be accused of stealing.3:03
Stealing.3:05
Cried Higgins.3:06
You shouldn't have said that.3:07
It shows lack of sensitivity.3:09
Take anything you want, except the jewels.3:12
They're hired.3:15
Are you satisfied?3:17
This is not hired.3:19
It's the one you bought me.3:20
But I don't want it, said Eliza, taking off a ring.3:22
Higgins dashed it into the fireplace and turned on Eliza so furiously that she crouched with fear.3:26
You have made me lose my temper, Eliza, which is something that rarely happens to me.3:32
I wish to talk no more tonight.3:39
I am going to bed, said Higgins, trying to look dignified.3:41
You'd better leave a note for Mrs. Pearce about the coffee in the morning, said Eliza decisively, and went upstairs to pack her things.3:47
