    and will be bringing an experiment subject on whom he has
    been working for some months to her at home.

    Mrs. Higgins is not pleased about this unsolicited visit from a


    common flower girl, but she has no time to oppose before Mrs.
    and Miss Eynsford Hill arrive.

    Eliza makes quite an impact on the guests with her new speech
    until Mrs. Eynsford Hill brings up the subject of influenza,
    which causes Eliza to launch into the topic of her aunt.
    In her excitement, her old accent, along with
    shocking facts such as her father's alcoholism,
    slip out.

    After the guests leave, Mrs. Higgins explains to

    with Eliza once everything is over, but the two
    men pay no heed. And they take their leave.
