AW! Poor Peter! I love angst, but I feel so bad for him. Darn it! I have to say, I always thought that Miss Sayers, as brilliant as she was, should have spent a little more time on that whole sequence. You filled in a bit of a gap- thank you! =)

This was a good piece of writing and really brought the Wimsey/Vane relationship alive, but there were one or two tiny lapses from the excellent writing which it mainly displayed. Do watch that sentences about the nettles and the willow bases - punctuation is dodgy. Either use a semi-colon or begin a new sentence. Dorothy L. Sayers would never have used a comma to try to hold two separate clauses together. Also beware lines of dots...Again, not very typical of Sayers.

At the beginning of the piece, be careful about how many times you use the words "conversation" and "topic". It gets a bit repetitive. I know it's meant to be, but you've just slightly overworked it.

Why don't you write us a whole new book about Peter and Harriet? I look forward to it.

oh... you're good. very, very good!

Wow!

This episode was good, and definitely had the flavour of D. L. Sayers. The modern fad for verbless sentences should be avoided, however. Even the occasional one doesn't sound quite right.

Lord Peter was well-characterised here, however, and it was lovely to see a bit more of his emotional needs. Well done.

wow...

great job! wonderful! please write more fics...there are only five...*cries* i would write some myself but i don't have any ideas yet...*sigh* hopefully i'll get a couple soon :D

BANZAI!

p.s. i'm putting this story on my favorites list :D

Wow. This is very good. I'm off to read the rest of your stories!

Great version of the previously unrecorded events from Gaudy Night (possibly my favourite Wimsey novel). Very moving and the characterizations were perfect. There aren't that many Wimsey fics, but this one is certainly the best. :-)

LOVED IT!
Very gripping.
Sorry, haven't got time to write more.
Cheers.

Lovely. (What is it about that word and this fic? It's been used repeatedly.) Very nice. I may have to go read the story yet again.

It's been ages since I read it last. Would Miss Hillyard really slip and call Lord Peter simply Peter?

Yep, I liked that! I enjoyed Harriet's introspection near the beginning about how she treats Peter - very authentic!

Oh, that's lovely. Oh, it is. Lovely lovely lovely. I;m babbling-- I know I'm babbling. I love Peter/Harriet. Made for each other. (Of course they were, you fool!) Nice dialogue. Lovely. And I'm sorry, I've written a fic about this very scene, after the attack -- it's very, very different, though, I promise!

Absolutely smashing!! Bang on! WRITE MORE! Nice job with British dialouge and I would know!!

I've been curious to see Peter's angst over Harriet since I first read Gaudy Night. I was very satisfied with the way that you presented it. Your prose style is just right, as is the dialogue you've included.
I believe your story does justice to the missing scenes, and I'm very glad to have read it. Thank you. :)
