Mrs. Pearce has
two main objections when Higgins wants to have Eliza stay at his house. The first is that it is
simply not proper in that time and place. Eliza is a young, unmarried woman, and such things are
not done by proper people. Mrs. Pearce also knows Higgins well, and is concerned with what will
become of Eliza after Higgins is finished with her. Eliza will be someone with the correct
social skills and accents to fit in with the wealthy people, but will have no resources after
Higgins is done with her. There is also fear on her part of what the interaction will do to
Higgins--it seems there is some part of Mrs. Pearce that is simply distressed about how Higgins
treats people as subjects, and what it will do to him eventually.
