With Western clothes on, the Masai may lose their lucrative business of posing for camera-carrying tourists for a 1-shilling (14?) fee; they adopt a menacing pose for 2 shillings.

While the existentialist crowds stormed intellectual bastilles, he coolly sat down to write in his luxurious apartment overlooking the Bois de Boulogne, carefully dressed for literature (blue serge suit, quiet four-in-hand, expensive leather carpet slippers).
