Quotes 

• Gerald, Duke of Denver : If you're so dead-set on making a public spectacle of yourself...

  Lord Peter Wimsey : Damn it, man, you're the one who's making a public spectacle of himself! It never need have started if it hadn't been for you. Do you think that I enjoy seeing my brother and sister dragged through the courts, reporters all swarming over the place, paragraphs and news bills with your name staring at me from every corner, and the whole ghastly business ending up in a great show in the House of Lords with a lot of people togged up in scarlet and ermine, and all the rest of the damn fool jiggery-pokery?

• Gerald, Duke of Denver : I know you like playing detectives, so if it's games you want...

  Lord Peter Wimsey : My dear Jerry...

  Gerald, Duke of Denver : ...you must go and play them elsewhere.

  Lord Peter Wimsey : I'm sorry you find me such an irritating sort of person. I suppose it's hard for you to believe I feel anything, but I do. Seeing you like this, I'll tell you this, old lad... in spite of what you think of me, I am going to get to the bottom of this little mess - even if Bunter and I both perish in the attempt.
