Which sentence in this excerpt from George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion reveals that Henry Higgins is proud to be an English speaker?
THE NOTE TAKER: A woman who utters such depressing and disgusting sounds has no right to be anywhere-no right to live. Remember that
you are a human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech: that your native language is the language of Shakespear (sic) and
Milton and The Bible: and don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon
THE FLOWER GIRL: (quite overwhelmed, and looking up at him in mingled wonder and deprecation without daring to raise her head): Ah-ah-
ah-ow-ow-00!
THE NOTE TAKER (whipping out his book: Heavens! what a sound! (He writes: then holds out the book and reads, reproducing her vowels
exactly Ah-ah-ah-ow-ow-00!
THE FLOWER GIRL (tickled by the performance and laughing inspite of herself): Garn!
THE NOTE TAKER: You see this creature with her kerbstone English: the English that will keep her in the gutter to the end of her days. Well, sir, in
three months I could pass that girl off as a duchess at an ambassador's garden party. I could even get her a place as lady's maid or shop
assistant which requires better English. That's the sort of thing I do for commercial millionaires. And on the profits of it I do genuine scientific
work in phonetics, and a little as a poet on Miltonic lines.

"last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
