Assuming said socialite was not in a committed relationship, why would they not take that money for what must be 30m of effort which may actually be pleasant? 5 pounds on the other hand is not only a small amount of money, but it’s also insulting to ask somebody that’s not a prostitute to sleep with one for such a pittance. Fictional Churchill was acting like an asshole and the fictional socialite was acting rationally. She only should have replied instead “X million pounds is the best I can offer, but I should certainly hope you are good in bed Mr. Churchill”.
