Who says the following and why?

[O]f course she's not presentable. She's a triumph of your art and of her dressmaker's; but if you suppose for a moment that she doesn't give herself away in every sentence she utters, you must be perfectly cracked about her.

Answer:

Mrs. Higgins

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Higgins is the person who says these lines in the play "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw. When Eliza first arrived to Mr. Higgins house, she was a girl who had no education and was not attractive in the least. However, she is now well-dressed and has a very desirable appearance. However, Mrs. Higgins believes that she is still not presentable. She does not look bad, but she betrays her artificiality the moment that she speaks.
