George Bernard Shaw writes about his visit to Skellig Michael:
Henry Higgins to Eliza Doolittle: At the end of six months you shall go to Buckingham Palace in a carriage, beautifully dressed.
Henry Higgins to Eliza Doolittle: If the King finds out youre not a lady, you will be taken by the police to the Tower of London, where your head will be cut off as a warning to other presumptuous flower girls.
And Shaw, like many people, stayed in Hotels
