Quotes
-
Harriet Vane : If anybody does marry you, Peter, it will be for the pleasure of hearing you talk piffle.
-
Harriet Vane : Peter, people have been wrongly condemned before now.
Lord Peter Wimsey : Only because I wasn't there.
Harriet Vane : Oh, I never thought of that.
-
Harriet Vane : [as Peter walks in for a prison visitation] Can't help being a gentleman, can you?
Lord Peter Wimsey : Afraid not... drilled in when I was too young to resist.
-
Harriet Vane : You are bearing in mind, aren't you, that I've had a lover?
Lord Peter Wimsey : Oh, yes, so've I. Several, in fact. It's the sort of thing that could happen to anyone. I can produce quite good testimonials. I'm told I make love rather nicely. Though I am at a bit of a disadvantage at the moment. One can't be too convincing at the other end of the table with a bloke looking in the window.
Harriet Vane : I'll take your word for it.
