When the news of the prize was announced, thousands of people all over Europe “wrote to me for loans, mostly for the entire sum,” Shaw told [Augustin] Hamon. “When the further news came that I had refused it another million or so wrote to say that if I was rich enough to throw away money like that, I could afford to adopt their children, or pay off the mortgages on their houses…or let them have £XXXX to be repaid punctually next May, or to publish a priceless book explaining the mystery of the universe. It says a good deal for female virtue that only two women proposed that I should take them on as mistresses.” To grapple with the emergency, he began practicing a complicated facial expression which combined universal benevolence with a savage determination to rescue no one from financial ruin.”
