Lord Peter Wimsey Quote
[Peter is visiting Harriet in prison, meeting her for the first time]
Lord Peter Wimsey: But, um, you're not opposed to matrimony on principle? I mean if offered on terms not already compromised, and by the right person, naturally.
Harriet Vane: Oh, no.
Lord Peter Wimsey: Oh, that's good.
Harriet Vane: Might I ask why?
Lord Peter Wimsey: Makes it easier for me, you see.
Harriet Vane: [after a pause] Have I got this right? You are proposing marriage to me?
Lord Peter Wimsey: Absolutely right.
Harriet Vane: [laughing] Do you do this all the time, Lord Peter?
Lord Peter Wimsey: Only when I'm serious.
Harriet Vane: And you're serious now?
Lord Peter Wimsey: Oh, I know I've got a silly face, but I can't help that. And I am. Serious, I mean.
