A simply splendid snapshot of Harriet and Bunter finding their way to an accord in the early days of her marriage to Peter. Great character voices all around.

Notes
"When I was first demobilised, after the war," he said, "I came to enter his Lordship's service -- you're aware of what transpired?"
"Aware enough," Harriet said, nodding. "His mother told me a bit."
"In those days, his Lordship was not always entirely clear on where the boundaries lay between..." Bunter inhaled. "Well, between servant and master, between peacetime and wartime. I found that in moments of crisis, it was easier for both of us when he called me Sergeant. It became a shorthand, of a sort. It's rarely required now, but..."
I kind of want to show this story to Joanna Russ and Sayers scholars and have them discuss the way Sayers writes and doesn't-write about class in the Wimsey novels, and how this author navigates that tension. Because it is FASCINATING.
