... the fourth of the Lord Peter Wimsey novels, in which he meets Harriet Vane and falls in love with her at first sight. I was absolutely and utterly charmed. Especially by his first scene with Harriet. And the line "She smiled suddenly at him and his heart turned to water." Awwww. And the half-bold, half-self-deprecating, and completely charming way he had of confessing his feelings to her. Especially when he joked about running home to his mother. "It's the one and only woman and she's going through the most ghastly, awful thing and for God's sake hold my hand!" Hee hee hee.
