Chapter 13.0:00
A true lady Higgins was determined to talk to Eliza, but he could see that his mother was serious.0:02
He sat down and prepared to listen to what she had to say.0:21
Eliza came to me this morning, began Mrs. Higgins.0:25
She told me of the terrible way you two treated her.0:29
What?0:33
Cried Higgins, jumping up.0:34
That's nonsense.0:36
He's right, Mrs. Higgins, agreed Pickering.0:39
We were certainly not unkind to Eliza last night.0:42
We hardly said a word to her.0:47
Higgins, did you bully her after I went to bed?0:49
On the contrary, said Higgins, she bullied me.0:52
She threw my slippers at me.0:57
I'll tell you why, said Mrs. Higgins.1:00
Eliza worked very hard for you.1:03
She behaved like a duchess, and yet you didn't give her one word of praise.1:06
Instead, you talked of how glad you were that it was all over and how bored the whole thing had made you in the end.1:10
Perhaps we were a little thoughtless.1:17
Pickering nodded.1:20
Is she very angry?1:21
Well, she won't go back to Wimpole street, said Mrs. Higgins.1:24
But if you promise to behave yourselves I shall ask her to come down and talk to you.1:28
Higgins and Pickering promised to be pleasant and Alfred decided to go to the garden for a while so that the others could speak privately.1:33
Eliza entered the room looking calm and very ladylike showing remarkable ease of manner.1:43
How do you do, Professor Higgins?1:50
She asked.1:52
So glad to see you again, Colonel Pickering.1:53
The two men stared at her, dumb with shock.1:56
Quite chilly this morning, isn't it, Eliza went on.1:59
Don't you dare play this game on me.2:02
I taught it to you and you can't fool me.2:05
Get your things and come home, Higgins said furiously.2:09
Anyone can learn to speak properly and dress properly, Mr. Higgins, answered Eliza calmly, without looking at him.2:12
But the true difference between a lady and a flower girl is how she's treated.2:19
I shall always be a flower girl to you because you always treat me like a flower girl and always will.2:25
But to Colonel Pickering, I shall always be a lady because he always treats me like a lady and always will.2:32
But will you forgive Higgins and come back?2:43
Asked Pickering gently.2:47
He only wants me back to pick up his slippers and fetch and carry for him, said Eliza.2:49
I don't want you back at all.2:54
Cried Higgins angrily.2:56
Very well, said Eliza.2:57
I can do without you.2:59
I'll marry Freddy Ansford Hill.3:01
He writes to me two or three times a day.3:03
He truly loves me, that young fool.3:06
Cried Higgins.3:10
He couldn't get a job even as an errand boy.3:11
I'll work, said Eliza confidently.3:14
Ill go and be a teacher of phonetics, just like you.3:17
Higgins laughed.3:21
I like you like this, Eliza, he cried.3:22
You're full of strength.3:26
I have really made you into a woman after all.3:28
Oh, by the way, I want you to buy some things for me.3:33
Honestly, I cannot imagine what you are to do without me, said Eliza, stepping out.3:36
I should be uneasy about the two of you if Eliza wasn't fond of the Colonel, said Mrs. Higgins Pickering.3:42
Nonsense.3:50
She's going to marry Freddy.3:52
Freddy, it.3:55
