I’m getting cold. What can Freddy be doing all this time? He’s been gone twenty minutes. The mother. Not so long. But he ought to have got us a cab by this. Freddy rushes in out of the rain and comes between them closing an umbrella. 1_ The daughter. Well haven’t you got a cab? Freddy. There’s not one to be had for love or money. The mother. You really are very helpless, Freddy. Go again and don’t come back until you have found a cab. Freddy. Oh, very well. [He opens his umbrella and runs along the street but comes into collision with a flower girl who is hurrying in for shelter, knocking her basket out of her hands. 2_] The flower girl.

[7_] Thank you, sir. The bystander. You be careful: give him a flower for it. There’s a policeman here behind taking down every word you’re saying. [8___] The flower girl. I aint done nothing wrong by speaking to the gentleman. The note taker. Oh, shut up, shut up. Do I look like a policeman? The flower girl. Then what did you take down my words for? How do I know whether you took me down right? You just show me what you’ve wrote about me. [9_] What’s that? That aint proper writing. I can’t read that. The note taker. I can.

Main characters: the flower girl, Freddy, the mother, the daughter, the gentleman, the note taker, the bystander.
Stage directions show what the characters do, how they look, and what is happening on the stage. They help the reader imagine the scene and understand the action.
Stage directions in the proper place:
1. I. An elderly gentleman rushes into the shelter and closes his umbrella.
2. J. All turn to the man who is taking notes.
3. F. She is perhaps eighteen, perhaps twenty, hardly older. She wears a little sailor hat that has seldom if ever been brushed. Her hair needs washing badly. She has a brown skirt with an apron. Her boots are much the worse for wear.
4. B. The note taker opens his book and holds it under her nose.
5. E. Disappointed, but thinking three half-pence better than nothing.
6. A. Trying his pockets.
7. G. Here, with apologies, is an attempt to represent her dialect.
8. H. A blinding flash of lightning, followed by thunder, orchestrates the incident.

Dialect words and their standard English forms:
- wh’ y’ gowin — where are you going
- banches — bunches
- voylets — violets
- trod — trodden
- mad — mud
- Ow, eez уэ-ооа, san, is e? — Oh, he is your son, is he?
- Wal, eed ran awy athaht pyin. — Well, he ran away without paying.
- Will ye-oo py me f them? — Will you pay me for them?
- I aint done nothing wrong — I haven’t done anything wrong
- Do I look like a policeman? — standard English already
- Cheer ap, Keptin; n’ baw ya flahr orf a pore gel. — Cheer up, Captain; and buy a flower off a poor girl.
The play is called Pygmalion because, like the myth about Pygmalion, it is about creating or transforming a person. In the play, Professor Higgins tries to change Eliza’s speech and manners, turning her into a lady.
Examples of such words:
- enough — e + nough + gh
- women — wo + men (the sound i)
- station — sta + ti + on
You can make your own funny examples in the same way, for example: laugh = la + w + f, nation = na + ti + on.
