GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
A 1p. a.l.s. by Shaw, to H.M. Tomlinson, undated [but 24th November 1921], complaining about the use of inverted commas: 'Why does the Nation persist in treating every newspaper title except its own as a Thief's alias? ... The Times is the "Times", which is ridiculous. How would you like it if the Times wrote of you as "Tomlinson"? Mr "Tomlinson" wrote a book about the "Tower" which was the delight of the "King" and always had a place in the "Royal Bedchamber" in "Buckingham Palace". I tell you it isn't right. What is the Board of Education for?'
