E: (very upset) Oh Mrs. Pearce. It was terrible. MP: Why do you think like that? What happened? E: Is it possible that I’m bad at everything? First it was my appearance and my clothes. Now it’s my pronunciation. Why they even made me say my ABC!

MP: Dry your eyes, my dear. Let me encourage you. I’m sure they were just trying to help you. I know Mr. Higgins is very keen on getting that right. He says that is the start of good speaking. E:(feeling better) Oh, do you really think that’s true? Perhaps he didn’t mean to be unkind then! MP: Well, I know he’s not quite a gentlemen when it comes to a lady’s feelings. He is so strict on you because he wants to win his bet with Colonel Pickering.

E: Really! So he doesn’t just do it because he doesn’t like me. Thank you Mrs. Pearce. You have made me feel much better
