Have His Carcase Quote
Harriet Vane: I'm sorry, I know I'm being horribly ungrateful-
Lord Peter Wimsey: Oh, *hell*! Am I never to hear the end of that hateful adjective? I keep telling you, I don't want gratitude! I don't want kindness, I don't want sentimentality! I just want common honesty.
Harriet Vane: But that's all I ever wanted! I don't think it's to be had. [silence]
Lord Peter Wimsey: Harriet, I do understand. I know you don't ever want to have to depend on another person for your happiness ever again.
Harriet Vane: That's true. That's the truest thing you've ever said.
