Why Lord Peter is one of the most romantic heroes ever. Who wouldn't want a man drunk on poetry? I never understood how Harriet could withstand him for so long. What's not to love?
Also see Dorothy Dunnett's Francis Crawford of Lymond, who might actually be even more word drunk than Lord Peter. I'm pretty sure Francis Crawford was inspired by Lord Peter. It's impossible for me to imagine that Dorothy Dunnett wasn't just imagining a Scottish Lord Peter transposed to the 16th century.
It was nice to stroll with you down rabbit trails that start with Sayers and detour to Neruda and tease at other side quests. Let us always be drunk on words.

Ooh…Thanks for the recommendation! I love knowing I’m not the only one who loves Lord Peter.
