* Why does Eliza fail so badly at Ascot? Because Henry explicitly spends as little time with women of his own class as possible, and seems to have been focusing almost solely on elocution, meaning Eliza didn’t learn any etiquette, much less female-specific etiquette.

* On another Zoltan Kaparthy-related point, Higgins seems to show a tremendous dislike toward him, despite Kaparthy being his former pupil and speaking properly now. It's partially because Karparthy is now using his new refined vocabulary to mix with the socialites (and making an ass of himself), but it may also be because of the way he was trying to suck up to his former mentor at the ball.

* To Zoltan Karpathy, Eliza appears as Hungarian, as her language is quite refined. It is likely that he recognised a resemblance to his own manner of speaking and made his deduction from the fact of his own being Hungarian. However, the similarity might rather originate from both of them having been taught by Henry Higgins.
