A scene from unforgettable play written by Bernard Show:”My fair Lady”

THE PARLOUR MAID (opening the door) Miss Doolittle
LIZA [speaking with pedantic correctness of pronunciation and great beauty of tone] How do you do, Mrs. Higgins? [She gasps slightly in making sure of the H in Higgins, but is quite successful]. Mr. Higgins told me I might come.
Mrs Higgins
Pickering
LIZA [shaking hands with him] Colonel Pickering, is it not?
Mrs Hill
LIZA. How do you do? [She sits down on the ottoman gracefully in the place just left vacant by Higgins].
Mrs Hill
LIZA. How do you do?
Mrs Hill
LIZA. How do you do?
Mrs Higgins
LIZA. The shallow depression in the west of these islands is likely to move slowly in an easterly direction. There are no indications of any great change in the barometrical situation.

Freddy
LIZA. What is wrong with that, young man? I bet I got it right.
LIZA [darkly] My aunt died of influenza: so they said.
Mrs Hill
LIZA [looking round at him; taking the hint; and rising] Well: I must go. [They all rise. Freddy goes to the door]. So pleased to have met you. Good-bye. [She shakes hands with Mrs. Higgins].
Mrs Higgins
LIZA. Good-bye, Colonel Pickering.
LIZA [nodding to the others] Good-bye, all.
Lisa

Freddy
MRS. EYNSFORD HILL [introducing] My son Freddy.
Freddy
MRS. EYNSFORD HILL. I'm sure I hope it won’t turn cold. There’s so much influenza about. It runs right through our whole family regularly every spring.
Freddy
MRS. EYNSFORD HILL [suffering from shock] Well, I really can’t get used to the new ways.
Lisa
CLARA [impulsively] How do you do? [She sits down on the ottoman beside Eliza, devouring her with her eyes]
Clara

Lisa

-I think, you pretty-ugly
2.
-Today, children, we are going to speak about tenses. Now, if I say: I’m beautiful.”Which tense is it?
