“Wimsey felt that he was hardly the sort of man to take kindly to a Paul Alexis for a stepfather; he would not sympathise with the sterile romance of any woman who was past the age of child-bearing. Wimsey, summing him up with the man of the world's experienced eye, placed him at once as a gentleman-farmer, who was not quite a gentleman and not much of a farmer.” — Dorothy L. Sayers
