"MRS. EYNSFORD HILL [to Mrs. Higgins] How do you do? [They shake hands]."


"MISS EYNSFORD HILL [going to him with confident familiarity] How do you
do?"

 "MISS EYNSFORD HILL [going to him with confident familiarity] How do you
do?"

"PICKERING. How do you do, Mrs. Higgins?"

"LIZA. How do you do?"
