23. “When the rain stops, can we go out?” said the children.
24. “When you've completed one section, go on to the next,”
the teacher said.
25. “If you don't like the programme, switch to another chan-
nel,” I said to her.
26. “If I lose my traveller's cheques, will the bank repay me?” I
asked.
27. “If the noise gets worse, you'd complain to the police,” he
said to me.
28. “As soon as you find a hotel, ring me and give me the ad-
dress,” he said.
II. Convert into reported speech.
1. The flower girl: I want to be a lady in the flower shop… But they
won't take me unless I can talk more genteel.
2. Mrs. Pearce: …Nobody is going to touch your money.
Higgins: Somebody is going to touch you, with a broomstick, if
you don't stop snivelling… If I decide to teach you, I'll be worse
than two fathers to you.
3. Higgins: Yes, in six months – in three if she has a good ear and a
quick tongue – I'll take her anywhere and pass her off as anything.
4. Higgins: We must help her to prepare and fit herself for her new
station in life. If I didn't express myself clearly it was because I
didn't want to hurt her delicacy.
5. Higgins: What on earth will she want with money? She'll have her
food and her clothes. She'll only drink if you give her money.
6. Higgins: What's to become of her if I leave her in the gutter?
7. Pickering: If this girl is to put herself in your hands for six months
for an experiment for teaching, she must understand thoroughly
what she's doing.
Higgins: How can she? She's incapable of understanding any-
thing. Besides, do any of us understand what we are doing? If we
did, would we ever do it?
8. Higgins: Eliza, …if you're good and do whatever you're told, you
shall sleep in a proper bedroom, and have lots to eat, and money
to buy chocolates and have rides in taxis. If you're naughty and
idle you will sleep in the back kitchen among the black beetles,

and be walloped by Mrs. Pearce with a broomstick. At the end of
six months you shall go to Buckingham Palace in a carriage,
beautifully dressed. If the King finds out you're not a lady, you
will be taken by the police to the Tower of London where your
head will be cut off as a warning to other presumptuous flower
girls. If you are not found out you shall have a present of seven-
and-sixpence to start life with as a lady in a shop. If you refuse
this offer you will be a most ungrateful wicked girl; and the an-
gels will weep for you.
9. Mrs. Higgins: Do you know what you would do if you really loved
me, Henry?
Higgins: Oh bother! What? Marry, I suppose.
Mrs. Higgins: No. Stop fidgeting and take your hands out of your
pockets.
10. Pickering: Is this fellow really an expert? Can he find out Eliza
and blackmail her?
Higgins: We shall see. If he finds her out I lose my bet.
11. Pickering: Mrs. Pearce will row if we leave these things lying
about in the drawing room.
12. Mrs. Higgins: The girl has a perfect right to leave if she chooses.
13. Mrs. Higgins: If you want to know where Eliza is, she is up-
stairs… If you promise to behave yourself, Henry, I'll ask her to
calm down.
14. Liza: I have learnt my lesson. I don't believe I could utter any of
the old sounds if I tried.
15. Higgins: If you come back, come back for the sake of fellowship;
for you'll get nothing else.
16. Higgins: If you come back I shall treat you just as I have always
treated you.
17. Liza: What did you do it for if you didn't care for me?
18. Liza: I wouldn't marry you if you asked me.
(B. Shaw)
