My own way of doing bu.-itu — is neither har-h nor unfair. But it

It is very much as if you offered a man $5 for doing

money or anything else, knows that in order to get what he wants he
has to sign something, lie do. sn't care what he signs so long as he
gets what he wants. After he obtains whatever he stood in need of, if
he find- the agreement he signed is disagreeable, he will denounce the
man who holds it as a knave or a scoundrel.
In my own experience with Englishmen the terms of my agree

irksome. They would then come to me and say, "Surely, Mr. Shaw,
yon cannot expect to hold ns to such outrageous terms?” And when I
would p ■ nt to the agreements bearing their signatures they would
