Point in the plot when the conflict reaches its apex.
When Nepommuck talks to Eliza at the Embassy Ball, he realizes that she is faking her accent- she is actually a Hungarian princess who knows both French, Hungarian, and English.
NEPOMMUCK Instinct, maestro, instinct. Only the Magyar races can produce that air of the divine right, those resolute eyes. She is a princess.
HOST What do you say, Professor?
HIGGINS I say an ordinary London girl out of the gutter and taught to speak by an expert. I place her in the Drury Lane.
NEPOMMUCK Ha ha ha! Oh, maestro, maestro, you are mad on the subject of cockney dialects. The London gutter is the whole world for you.
HIGGINS (to the hostess) What does your Excellency say?
HOSTESS Oh, of course I agree with Nepommuck. She must be a princess at least.
This means that Higgins won the bet and all of Eliza's efforts have paid off- her past self as a flower girl is behind her because she now possesses the skills needed to enter the upper class.
