"'No - dash it all, I seem to be saying all the wrong things today.
All I can do to prove my point is quote directly from his conversation with Harriet after he proposes: He's such a better speaker than you - he talks like Oscar Wilde wrote all his lines but decided to be sincere about them for a change. Lord Peter Wimsey seems to care so much more than you - when Harriet Vane was accused of poisoning her former lover, Lord Peter knew she didn't do it, and he decided to take her case because he genuinely cared about her, and this led to a delightful scene where he proposes marriage to her in prison. You take cases more out of boredom, and also because the police tend to beg for your help. It's not your fault the fact is that Lord Peter is just.well, truth be told he's a better man than you. There's a new literary detective in my life, and while I will always cherish your silly Belgian antics, Lord Peter Wimsey just understands my needs better - he makes me laugh so much more than you do, and he has that sincerity that you lack.
