　 John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew，but whose face he didn't，the girl with the rose．Thirteen months ago，in a Florida library he took a book off the shell and found himself interested in the notes in the margin(頁邊)．The soft handwriting showed a thoughtful soul and insightful(有洞察力的)mind．

In front of the book，he discovered the name，Miss Hollis Maynell．With time and effort he got her address．He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to keep in touch．　

　 During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail． A romance started．John requested a photograph，but she refused．She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like．Later they agreed on their first meeting—7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York．

　 “You’ll recognize me,” she wrote，“by the red rose I'll be wearing my coat.” So at 7：00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose．

A girl in a green suit was coming toward him，her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers．Almost uncontrollably he came to her，and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell—a woman well past 40．The girl was walking quickly away．

A maths talent who won fame this week for giving up a million?dollar prize is living with his mother in a simple flat in St Petersburg，co?existing on her ￡ 30?a?month pension，because he has been unemployed for many years.

The Sunday Telegraph tracked down the strange recluse(隱士) who shocked the maths world when he solved a century?old puzzle known as the Poincaré Conjecture.

Grigory Perelman's trouble comes from a split with a leading Russian mathematical institute，the Steklov，in 2003.When the Institute in St Petersburg failed to re?elect him as a member，Dr Perelman was left feeling an “absolutely ungifted and untalented person”，said a friend.He became unconfident and cut himself off.

Other friends say he cannot afford to travel to the International Mathematical Union's congress in Madrid，where many people want him to receive the maths equivalent(等價物) of the Nobel Prize，and that he is too modest to ask anyone to pay for his trip.

Interviewed in St Petersburg，Dr Perelman insisted that he was unworthy of all the attention，and was uninterested in the prize.“I do not think anything that I say can be of the slightest public interest，” he said. “I am not saying that because I value my privacy，or that I am doing anything I want to hide.There are no top?secret projects going on here.I just believe the public has no interest in me.”

He continued: “I know that self?promotion happens a lot and if people want to do that，good luck to them，but I do not regard it as a positive thing.I realized this a long time ago and nobody is going to change my mind. Newspapers should be more discerning(有洞察力的) over who they write about.They should have more taste.As far as I am concerned，I can't offer anything for their readers.”

Dr Perelman has some small savings from his time as a lecturer，but is apparently unwilling to increase them with the D＄1 million offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge，Massachusetts，for solving one of the world's seven “Millennium Problems”．
