Clouds of Witness1972

[on Mary's ex-fiance, who has shot Peter]

Lord Peter Wimsey:
Yes, you always did find him a bit sickening, didn't you, Mother?

Lady Mary Wimsey:
How can you?

Lord Peter Wimsey:
What?

Lady Mary Wimsey:
At a time like this?

Lord Peter Wimsey:
Well, confound it all, he is sickening!

Lady Mary Wimsey:
If you can't be a gentleman, Peter...

Lord Peter Wimsey:
Oh, damn it all! Here is a man who, without the slightest provocation, takes a potshot at me, then vamooses leaving me bleeding like a stuck pig! And when, in what seems to me to be jolly mild parliamentary language, I call him a sickening fellow, my own sister says I ain't a gentleman. Well, really, and in my own place, too!
