From the Spectator, no? I haven't read 'em yet, but bits of 'em have been summed up for me. Also, I presume they were used as the basis for the Walsh books. I really like her whole deal about Peter as a complete person, and the quote you mention re: time/timelessness; it sort of highlights my ideas on serial fiction, and characters coming alive. I love that Harriet was meant to be Peter's kinder Reichenbach Falls... and then they obstinately refused to twitter off into happily-ever-after exile. There's something real about them. And I love how Sayers said that Peter never left her head, but stayed there for all the rest of her life, even after she'd quit writing him, and she was always holding things up to the "bar of his opinion."

I've been saving the rest of your Wimseyfic for when I finish this latest re-read. I watched the dvds, read all the Harriet ones, and am now working my way through the rest of the corpus. Almost done with Unnatural Death, now so fic ahoy soon. I'll check out the one you mention; sounds just in my line.

I was pretty fond of your Royal Society one ;-) They are quite a bunch, all of them. Competance is so... hot.

Your proposed library weekend sounds pretty cool; if you discover any lost works, let me know. I'd love a chance to get up there myself someday, fear of ms's and handwriting aside.
