    Higgins was not so different from Eliza's family, the only difference is language and prosperity and clothing. But when the housekeeper have to say "Please doesn't use the blood-word in front of Eliza, please don't go to breakfast in pajamas and dressing gown, don't put the sauce pan onto the tablecloth" and Eliza notices, that the bet never would have worked without Pickering, who is a real Gentleman. It's a miracle, that Higgins' customers doesn't find his manners offensive. Especially, when mother Higgins has to say to Henry "Don't sit on the table".
    Shaw added a epilogue to the manuscript, that isn't part of the play, but describes, how the story ends.
    He wasn't happy about the happy end, when Eliza returns to Higgins and was also annoyed by the first film, where Eliza told the Ensford-Hills, that she is a flower girl, her dad a dustman, because Higgins reproached her, to become also like the other high class people.
    Ok, in the original was the sentence "I tell in announcement, how I was transformed and offer the same for 1,000 £"

    Was about to watch this for AP lit and then I realized this is literally "My Fair Lady" - 1964 with Audrey Hepburn. Love the movie and love love love the play even more because of it! "Just you wait Enry Iggins, just you wait!"

    Read the part about real independence in the play. Great stuff. Justice Blackmun used it in his speech at De Paul Univ.

    Since Eden, mankind, for the most part has wanted to be free of our Creator! If we reject the LORD, we accept the devil. ALL who accept the devil, into HELL with him will be their final destination. Woe
