　　Act Five AFTERWARDS

　　Colonel Pickering and Henry come in with Eliza after eating their supper. She is still in her beautiful clothes. They sit and Eliza gets Henry's slippers.

　　H: What an evening! Thank God it's over. (Suddenly he sees the slippers) Oh, thank you, Eliza.

　　CP: Were you nervous? I was, but Eliza wasn't.

　　H: Oh, I knew she'd be all right. This project was interesting enough at first, but it became boring.

　　CP: Oh, but the ambassador's party was extremely exciting.

　　H: Yes, at first. But then I saw we would win easily.

　　CP: Yes. It's been a great triumph (胜利) for you.

　　They both leave. Eliza throws herself into a chair and sobs violently. Henry returns.

　　H: Where did I leave my shoes?

　　E: Here they are. Take them!

　　She throws them at Henry.

　　H: (amazed) What on earth ...? Is there anything wrong?

　　E: Nothing wrong - for you. I've won your bet for you, haven't I?

　　H: YOU won the bet! I won it!

　　E: Oh - you selfish brute (野兽;冷酷的人)! What's to become of me?

　　H: How should I know?

　　E: You don't care! I'm nothing to you - worthless than those shoes.
