..Your daughter Eliza...Moved in with a swell, Eliza has...this morning, I gets a message from her.She wants her things sent over to 27A Wimpole Street, care of Professor Higgins.And what things does she want?...Her birdcage, and a Chinese fan.But she says, ""Never mind about sending any clothes.""Alfred celebrates his luck by finishing up his song: "A man was made to help support his children, which is the right and proper thing to do.The time frame of the film""s plot is set over a little more than one twenty-four hour period in status-conscious mid-50""s Los Angeles, and confined to a limited number of locations." All that she had remaining were some dwindling stocks ("railroads, oil, cotton").She also blamed her age for never returning to the stage again:I""ll have my double chins in privacy.In a sweat, Jesse returned to the house and went to the cellar stairs for a closer look.When he noticed a shadow down he flight of stairs, he closed the basement door and tried to hold it shut, but something was pulling on it.
