Summary
“‘M afraid I proposed,” Lord Peter told his whiskey.
“Proposed,” Phryne repeated.
“Yes. Marriage.”
There was a pause as she took this in. “She was in prison. You’d been called in, all monocled, to keep her from hanging. And your suggestion to her was holy matrimony.”
Peter flourished a hand in a sad sort of bow.

Bookmark Notes:
Phryne and Lord Peter Wimsey have a drink. Witty and funny (and eminently believable).

“She didn’t seem trapped,” Peter said, “even there.” When Phryne didn’t dignify this with a response, he went on. “You’re entirely right, of course. Inexcusable. I just— I’d gotten so tired of the surface of things. Half-forgotten there was anything worth having below all the bally surface. And along comes this person who refuses to have any surface at all. Felt as if I recognized her, which may be the most dire foolishness I’ve said aloud since the war. Didn’t expect the relief.”
