PICKERING [rising also] My dear Mrs Higgins, she's been telling you stories.

PICKERING. He's incorrigible, Eliza. You wont relapse, will you?

PICKERING. It's really amazing. I havnt taken half of it in, you know.

PICKERING. Youre certainly not going to turn her head with flattery, Higgins.

PICKERING. But why did you bring her luggage if you intended to take her away?

PICKERING. You have not lost it, my dear. You have won it ten times over.

THE PARLOR-MAID [at the door] Mr Henry, maam, is downstairs with Colonel Pickering.

[To Pickering] Oh, sir: youre a gentleman: dont let him speak to me like that.

PICKERING. [speaking together] I assure you, my dear Mrs Higgins, that girl is a genius.

PICKERING. Well, I know the feeling; but really it seems hardly right -

PICKERING. She's happy enough. Dont you worry about her. Goodbye.

Plants of Albies Mill., Larix Mill., Picea A. Dietr., Pinus L. and Pseudotsuga Carr.

HIGGINS. Pickering: shall we ask this baggage to sit down, or shall we throw her out of the window?

PICKERING. Ripping. [Both are heard laughing as they go downstairs].

PICKERING. Most kind of you to invite her for me. [He passes on].

PICKERING. Only circulars, and this coroneted billet-doux for you.

[He raises his hat solemnly; then throws a handful of money into the basket and follows Pickering].

PICKERING [conscience stricken] Perhaps we were a little inconsiderate. Is she very angry?

But this last is really too much. Dont you think so, Colonel Pickering?

PICKERING. Only her father: the fellow we told you about.

PICKERING. Oh dont. You mustnt think of it as an experiment. It shocks me, somehow.

Acidophilous Picea forests of the montane to alpine levels ( Vaccinio-Piceetea )

PICKERING. I beg your pardon, Miss Doolittle. It was a slip of the tongue.

LIZA. Thats not true. He treats a flower girl as if she was a duchess.

PICKERING. A safe thing for you, Doolittle. They wont ask you twice.

PICKERING. Very clever, Higgins; but not to the present point. [To Eliza] Miss Doolittle -

PICKERING. Whether he is or not, I'm afraid we shall have some trouble with him.

PICKERING. Is this fellow really an expert? Can he find out Eliza and blackmail her?

PICKERING. I say: Mrs Pearce will row if we leave these things lying about in the drawing room.

PICKERING. We cant let her go like this, you know, Mrs Higgins. What were we to do?

PICKERING [rising and standing over him gravely] Come, Higgins! You know what I mean.

PICKERING [in good-humoured remonstrance] Does it occur to you, Higgins, that the girl has some feelings?

< RED>- The coastal area from Cabo Silliero to the Punta Picos (mouth of the river Mińo) is considered as a buffer zone.

HIGGINS. We said nothing except that we were tired and wanted to go to bed. Did we, Pick?

HIGGINS. Sorry. When Pickering starts shouting nobody can get a word in edgeways.

PICKERING [rising and coming to the fireplace, where he plants himself with his back to the fire] No, thank you: not now.

PICKERING [interrupting him] Come, Higgins: you must learn to know yourself.

HIGGINS. Well, of course. Thats just how I feel. And how Pickering feels. Eliza: youre a fool.

PICKERING. I think you ought to know, Doolittle, that Mr Higgins's intentions are entirely honorable.

You and I and Pickering will be three old bachelors together instead of only two men and a silly girl.

I should be uneasy about you and her if she were less fond of Colonel Pickering.

[He disappears through the window]. The parlor-maid answers the bell. Pickering sits down in Doolittle's place.

No paintings. Pickering is seated at the table, putting down some cards and a tuning-fork which he has been using.

PICKERING [laughing] He did. I think it must be regarded as her property, Mrs Pearce.

PICKERING [shaking hands] Good morning, Mrs Higgins. Has Henry told you? [He sits down on the ottoman].

PICKERING. I'm at the Carlton. Come with me now and lets have a jaw over some supper.

HIGGINS [calling down to Pickering] I say, Pick: lock up, will you? I shant be going out again.

FIRST LANDING FOOTMAN. Miss Doolittle, Colonel Pickering, Professor Higgins.

SECOND LANDING FOOTMAN. Miss Doolittle, Colonel Pickering, Professor Higgins.

PICKERING. No doubt. Still, he taught you to speak; and I couldnt have done that, you know.
