I don't know what a Kentish accent sounds like; is it as noticeable as that?
"Centre of Attention" I *love* watching Peter trying hard not to sulk here. It's funny and it's such a very human reaction, and he *would* have the grace to try to control it. On reflection, it puts me in mind of the time he tried to appreciate the spectacle of Harriet dancing with Mrs. Weldon's son in HAVE HIS CARCASE.
I would happily spend the rest of my life being ignored by women for you, Harriet.
I'm with her ladyship on the subject of piffle. This is a splendid line. :)
"Ascot Opening Day" I should not be surprised that I live in a world that can produce MY FAIR LADY / Lord Peter Wimsey crossover fic. :)
I've long thought that the choreographer should've received a medal for that scene in the film, never mind any Acadamy Awards. It's so beautifully done, such as the two ladies who are obviously going to murder their milliner for selling them copies of the same hat. :) Then there's the actual scene: "Henry, what a disagreeable surprise!"
"Examination" The body was dead, which was a relief in some ways
Hmm. *That* is intriguing. Is Harriet thinking that someone alive but badly hurt would've been worse, or what?
"Keeping Track" This story makes a *very* good point that Harriet may well have her demons too. Very vivid, the little scenes you flash up here - that other people see Harriet helping Peter, but those close to them don't know her well enough to see that he helps her too.
