Question

Pygmalion
by George Bernard Shaw (excerpt)

THE NOTE TAKER: I can. (Reads, reproducing her pronunciation exactly) "Cheer ap, Keptin; n' haw ya flahr orf a pore gel."

THE FLOWER GIRL (much distressed): It's because I called him Captain. I meant no harm. (To the gentleman) Oh, sir, don't let him lay a charge agen me for a word like that. You ...

THE GENTLEMAN: Charge! I make no charge. (To the note taker) Really sir, if you are a detective you need not begin protecting me against molestation by young women until I ask you. Anybody could see that the girl meant no harm.

THE BYSTANDERS GENERALLY (demonstrating against police espionage): Course they could. What business is it of yours? You mind your own affairs. He wants promotion, he does. Taking down people's words! Girl never said a word to him. What harm if she did? Nice thing a girl can't shelter from the rain without being insulted, etc., etc., etc. (She is conducted by the more sympathetic demonstrators back to her plinth, where she resumes her seat and struggles with her emotion.)

THE BYSTANDER: He ain't a tec. He's a blooming busybody: that's what he is. I tell you, look at his boots.

THE NOTE TAKER (turning on him genially): And how are all your people down at Selsey?

THE BYSTANDER (suspiciously): Who told you my people come from Selsey?

THE NOTE TAKER: Never you mind. They did. (To the girl) How do you come to be up so far east? You were born in Lisson Grove.

THE FLOWER GIRL (appalled): Oh, what harm is there in my leaving Lisson Grove? It wasn't fit for a pig to live in; and I had to pay four-and-six a week. (In tears) Oh, boo—hoo—oo—

THE NOTE TAKER: Live where you like; but stop that noise.

THE GENTLEMAN (To the girl): Come, come! He can't touch you: you have a right to live where you please.

A SARCASTIC BYSTANDER (thrusting himself between the note taker and the gentleman): Park Lane, for instance. I'd like to go into the Housing Question with you, I would.

THE FLOWER GIRL (subsiding into a brooding melancholy over her basket, and talking very low-spiritedly to herself): I'm a good girl, I am.

THE SARCASTIC BYSTANDER (not attending to her): Do you know where I come from?
