returning this is the young woman, sir.
the flower girl enters in state. she has a hat with three ostrich feathers, orange, sky - blue, and red. she has a nearly clean apron, and the shoddy coat has been tied a little. the pathos of this deplorable figure, with its innocent vanity and consequential air, touches pickering, who has already straightened himself in the presence of mrs. pearce. but as to higgins, the only distinction he makes between men and women is that when he is neither bullying nor coquetting to the housemaid he comes to the featherweight cross, he regards women as a child coaxes its nurse when it wants to get anything out of her.
