compliment; and if my money's not good enough I can go elsewhere
HIGGINS: Good enough for what?
THE FLOWER GIRL: Good enough for ye-oo. Now you know, don't you? I'm come to have lessons, I am. And to pay for em too: make no
mistake.
HIGGINS (stupent): WELL!!! (Recovering his breath with a gasp) What do you expect me to say to you?
THE FLOWER GIRL: Well, if you was a gentleman, you might ask me to sit down, I think. Don't I tell you I'm bringing you business?
HIGGINS: Pickering: shall we ask this baggage to sit down or shall we throw her out of the window?

whimpering) I won't be called a baggage when I've offered to pay like any lady.
