Act I

e. In torrents 0f heavy summer rain, he has to rush out again to try to find a cab since it is 11 p. m. While doing so he comes into collision with a flower girl, who is hurrying in for shelter, knocking her basket of flowers out of her hands. Some of her flowers dropped in the mud]
THE FLOWER GIRIL：Nah then, Freddy, look wh’y gowin, deah. (Nay then, Freddy look! Where are you going, dear. )

[She sits down on the plinth of the column, sorting her flowers, on the lady’s right. She is not at all an attractive person. She is perhaps eighteen, perhaps twenty, hardly older. She wears a little sailor hat of black straw that has long been expod to the dust and soot of
Loudon and has ldom if ever been brushed. Her hair needs washing rather badly t its mousy color can hardly be natural. She wears a shoddy black coat that reaches nearly to her knees and is shaped to her waist. She has a brown skirt with a coar apron. Her boots are much the wor for wear. She is no doubt as clean as she can offord to be; but compared to the ladies she is very dirty. Her features are no wor than theirs: but their condition leaves something to be desired; and she needs the rvices of a dentist. ]

THE FLOWER GIRL： Ow, eez ye-ooa san, is e? Wal, fewd dan y’ de-ooty bawmz a mather should, eed now better to spawl a pore gells flahrzn than ran away athaht pyin. Will ye-oo py me f’them?
