 As in his postscript to "Pygmalion" (1912), in which he describes Eliza Doolittle's future life, Shaw chose to portray the Byron marriage in a realistic manner and narrates how Lydia comes to regard Cashel as "one of the children".According to "Note on Modern Prizefighting" (1901) Shaw intended the fights described in "Cashel Byron's Profession" to turn the public away from the sport but the novel is written in such a light-hearted tone this unlikely result never materialized.The British musical "Bashville", first performed in 1983, was adapted from the play "The Admirable Bashville".
