| I always wondered if Doolittle expects hanky panky - implied in his financial transaction …."until she's growed big enough to be interesting to you two gentlemen" | |

| Why not? Shaw's marriage to Charlotte Payne-Townshend was most likely "a chaste relationship". (Apologies, young-walsingham, that was meant as a reply to the OP.) |

| I'm sure that's exactly what Doolittle THINKS is going on, at least in MY FAIR LADY, where he points out that when Eliza sent for her things, she didn't ask for any clothes. I don't know if that line is in PYGMALION, because it's been a really long time since I've seen a production. He's probably envisioning her spending her days as the naked plaything of these two gentlemen and thinks he's entitled to something for allowing this to continue. | |
