He denied that Freddy had any character, and declared that if he tried to do any useful worksome competent person would have the trouble of undoing it a procedure involving a net loss to the community, and great un-happiness to Freddy himself, who was obviously intended by Nature for such light work as amusing Eliza, which, Higgins declared, was a much more useful and honorable occupation than working in the city.
Zanikal je, da bi Freddy sploh imel značaj, in izjavil, naj kar poskusi storiti kaj koristnega, pa bo moral potem kakšen zmožen človek vse skupaj spet zbrisati; to ravnanje bi pomenilo čisto izgubo za skupnost in veliko bridkost za Freddyja samega, ki ga je narava očitno namenila za tako lahko delo, kakor je kratkočasenje Elize, ki je, kakor je dejal Higgins, še veliko bolj koristno in častno opravilo kakor delo v mestu.
