Select the correct text in the passage.
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.
