Shaw develops Higgins as this archetypal character in Act
I? *
A. "There, there, there, there! who's hurting you, you silly girl? What do yo
take me for?"
B. “Simply phonetics. The science of speech. That's my profession: also
hobby."
C. "Woman: cease this detestable boohooing instantly; or else seek the
shelter of some other place of worship."

ambassador's garden party."
