Chapter 12 the search for Eliza the next morning, Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering were extremely upset to find that Eliza was missing.0:00
Neither of them had any idea why she had left or where she could be.0:26
They went straight to Mrs. Higgins house and even called the police.0:31
The maid informed Mrs. Higgins about the two men wishing to see her.0:35
I see, said Mrs. Higgins.0:39
Please go upstairs and tell Miss Dolittle that Henry and the Colonel are here.0:42
Ask her not to come down until I send for her.0:46
No sooner had the maid left the room than then Higgins burst in.0:49
He was extremely upset.0:53
Look here, Mother, a terrible thing has happened, he said.0:55
Eliza has disappeared.0:59
Perhaps you frightened her, said Mrs. Higgins calmly.1:02
Of course I didn't, snapped Higgins impatiently.1:05
There's nothing you can do, his mother replied.1:12
The girl has a right to leave if she chooses.1:16
But I can't find anything.1:18
Cried Higgins in despair.1:21
I don't know when any of my appointments are.1:23
At that moment, Pickering entered and informed Higgins that the police made things more complicated.1:26
Have you called the police?1:31
As if Eliza were a lost umbrella.1:33
You have no more sense than two children.1:35
Mrs. Higgins exclaimed in surprise.1:38
Just then, the maid came back into the room.1:41
There's a Mr. Doodle here to see Professor Higgins, she said.1:43
Do you mean the dustman?1:47
Said the maid in surprise.1:51
This Mr. Dolittle is a gentleman.1:53
A moment later, Alfred Dolittle entered the room.1:56
He was dressed in fine clothes and looked very much like a gentleman.1:59
He marched angrily straight up to Professor Higgins.2:04
Look at this, he said.2:07
See what you've done to me?2:09
Ruined me, destroyed my happiness.2:10
Delivered me into the hands of middle class morality.2:14
You are drunk or mad.2:17
Did you or did you not go to Professor Wallacefella and tell him to contact me?2:25
Well, yes, I did, but what does it matter now?2:29
The man died last month.2:34
And he only gone and left me £3,000 a year in his will.2:37
He thought I were the greatest moralist there ever was.2:41
Well, what's wrong with that?2:43
What's wrong with that?2:47
Asked Alfred in disbelief.2:49
When I needed money, I asked other people for it, same as I asked you now.2:52
I asked to support all my poor relations.2:57
Well, that's good news, said Mrs. Higgins.2:59
You can support Eliza, too.3:02
He can't provide for her.3:07
She doesn't belong to him.3:08
He took five pounds for her and has no right to take her as well.3:10
Henry, don't be absurd.3:14
If you really want to know where Eliza is, she's upstairs, Mrs. Higgins said.3:16
The professor stared at her in amazement, then headed straight for the door.3:21
Wait a minute, Henry, his mother called after him.3:26
You need to listen to me very carefully.3:30
