Lord Peter Wimsey : Thank heaven for that!

Det. Supt. Charles Parker : Suicide... you know the trouble with this case? There were too many clues.
Lord Peter Wimsey : Indeed. Dozens of people with secrets and elopements barging about all over the place.
Lady Mary Wimsey : Peter, I hate you.

Lord Peter Wimsey : I must say, you're looking jolly scrumptious, Polly. Out to impress someone?
Lady Mary Wimsey : Me?
Lord Peter Wimsey : Mmm-hmm.
Lady Mary Wimsey : I don't know what you mean.
Lord Peter Wimsey : Good show, old thing. Keep it up.

Lord Peter Wimsey : No, no, no there's no need to buzz off.
Lady Mary Wimsey : Well, she'll be much happier without us hanging about.

Lord Peter Wimsey : You will be much happier without me hanging about, is that it?

Lord Peter Wimsey : What would you say, Bunter? A satisfactory conclusion?
Mervyn Bunter : Yes indeed, my lord. Satisfactory in almost every respect.
Lord Peter Wimsey : In what respect not satisfactory?
Mervyn Bunter : Something entirely personal to myself, my lord. There is a saying to the effect, "it is better to journey than to arrive."
Lord Peter Wimsey : Yes, I feel exactly the same. Only this time it's been a lot more exhausting than any I can remember. Too near home, I suppose.
Mervyn Bunter : My sentiments exactly, my lord.
