ittle
services, and that he should miss her if she went away (it would never
have occurred to Freddy or the Colonel to say anything of the sort)
deepens her inner certainty that she is "no more to him than them
slippers", yet she has a sense, too, that his indifference is deeper
than the infatuation of commoner souls. She is immensely interested in
him. She has even secret mischievous moments in which she wishes she
could get him alone, on a desert island, away from all ties and with
nobody else in the world to consider, and just drag him off his
pedestal and see him making love like any common man. We all have
private imaginations of that sort. But when it comes to business, to
the life that she really leads as distinguished from the life of dreams
and fancies, she likes Freddy and she likes the Colonel; and she does
not like Higgins and Mr. Doolittle. Galatea never does quite like
Pygmalion: his relation to her is too godlike to be altogether
agreeable.
