Freddy Eynsford-Hill, a rich-looking young of about 20 years old, pushed his way through the crowd round the dancers; his mother was just behind him. They were looking for a taxi, too. Suddenly, one of the dancers knocked into Freddy and he jumped back, but by mistake he knocked over a young woman, a flower-seller at the market, and she dropped some of her flowers on the ground. That was how Freddy first met Eliza Doolittle.

(Eliza, who speaks Cockney English, is very angry, and when she is trying to get some money from Freddy, a man - Professor Henry Higgins - is writing down in a notebook everything she says.)

My name is Catherine Parr. A month ago I was the Queen of England, the wife of King Henry the Eighth. Henry died and we buried him last week in St George’s Church, Windsor. Two days ago, on 16th February 1547, I went back to the palace of Whitehall, which was once my home. I wanted to take my letters and books and bring them back to my house.

When we arrived at the palace, it was cold and dark. We walked into Henry’s room. I sat down in one of Henry’s large chairs in front of his wooden writing desk and looked at the pictures around the room. Next to me there was a big picture of Henry, when he was young. He was very handsome then, not like the old fat old man he was later.

 ‘Tom! Tom! Where are you?’

 No answer.

 ‘Where is that boy? When I find him, I’m going to ...’

 Aunt Polly looked under the bed. Then she opened the door and looked out into the garden.

 ‘Tom!’

 She heard something behind her. A small boy ran past, but Aunt Polly put out her hand and stopped him.

 Ah, there you are! And what’s that in your pocket?’

‘Nothing, Aunt Polly.’
