False.
In Act III of George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion," Mrs. Higgins is not exactly happy to see her son, Henry Higgins. Although she is not overtly hostile, she displays irritation and disapproval towards his lack of manners and consideration for others. Mrs. Higgins tends to be critical of Henry's treatment of Eliza Doolittle and his generally self-centered behavior. She is particularly unhappy with the bet Henry has made with Colonel Pickering about transforming Eliza, a Cockney flower girl, into a lady who can fit into high society. Mrs. Higgins is more concerned about the consequences of their experiment on Eliza's future.
