What does this excerpt from Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw reveal about Liza's feelings toward Doolittle? HIGGINS: Have you any further advice to give her before you go, Doolittle? Your blessing, for instance.
DOOLITTLE: No, Governor I ain't such a mug as to put up my children to all I know myself. Hard enough to hold them in without that. If you want ELiza's mind improved, Governor, you do it yourself with a strap. So long, gentlemen. [He turns to go].
HIGGINS: [impressively] Stop. You'll come regularly to see your daughter. It's your duty, you know. My brother is a clergyman; and he could help you in your talks with her.
DOOLITTLE: [evasively] Certainly. I'll come, Governor. Not just this week, because I have a job at a distance. But later on you may depend on me. Afternoon, gentlemen. Afternoon, ma'am. [He takes off his hat to Mrs. Pearce, who disdains the salutation and goes out. He winks at Higgins, thinking him probably a fellow sufferer from Mrs. Pearce's difficult disposition, and follows her].
LIZA: Don't you believe the old liar. He'd as soon you set a bull-dog on him as a clergyman. You won't see him again in a hurry.
HIGGINS: I don't want to, Eliza Do you?
LIZA: Not me. I don't want never to see him again, I don't. He's a disgrace to me, he is, collecting dust, instead of working at his trade.
