On Harriet Vane

[sebastienne]

Well, yes, I am finally getting around to reading Dorothy L Sayers. And I do love Harriet Vane for all the reasons that you told me I would, flist.

Only.. None of you mentioned how deliciously kinky this is!

[spoilers for Gaudy Night]

An hour of al fresco breath play in an Oxfordshire field, followed by a collaring?!

Consider me purring. It's taken two-and-a-half books for Harriet and Peter to be able to interact like equals, and THIS is the first thing they do? <3

Are you considering watching the 80s adaptations, btw? They can move sooooo slowly and some of the bit-part actors are painful, but Edward Petherbridge and Harriet Walter are just wonderful. The scene from HIC starting at 7:40 in this clip and continuing into the next clip is just about one of my favourite things to watch evar, oh, them.

(Also the little exchange from 7:50 here - OH THEM. I always want to make an animated gif of Peter coming through the door but don't know how.)
