Corrected Pygmalion Pages

Here are the Pygmalion quotations with the page numbers for Penguin Classics edition.

From Pygmalion:

• P. 29 (Act Two): “Oh, don’t say that, sir: there’s more ways than one of turning a girl’s head; and nobody can do it better than Mr. Higgins, though he may not always mean it. I do hope, sir, you won’t encourage him to do anything foolish.”
• P. 32: “Oh, pay her whatever is necessary … She’ll only drink if you give her money.”
• P. 45: “I’m one of the undeserving poor: that’s what I am … and I drink a lot more.”
• P. 48: “I tell you, it’s easy to clean up here … Wish they could see what it is for the like of me.”
• P. 54 (Act Three): “What are you doing here today? It is my at-home day: you promised not to come.”
• P. 60: “Why should she die of influenza? … he kept ladling gin down her throat ‘til she came to so sudden that she bit the bowl off the spoon.”
• P. 67: “The advantages of that poor woman who was here just now? … Is that what you mean?”
• P. 79 (Act Four): “I’m sorry. I’m only a common ignorant girl … what belongs to me and what doesn’t?”
• P. 95 (Act Five): “I am not blaming him. It is his way … you always treat me as a lady, and always will.”
• P. 99: “The great secret is not having bad manners or good manners … and one soul is as good as another.”
