Hi, All!


In PYGMALION, by BERNARD SHAW I read this Doolittle saying after he's become a
rich man with the middle class morality:

-----Beginning of the citation-----
      When I was a poor man and had a solicitor once when they found a pram in
the dust cart, he got me off, and got shut of me and got me shut of him as
quick as he could.
----- The end of the citation -----

What is the pram pram in the dust cart? What does he mean? :)

Bye, All!
Alexander Koryagin
