God, I love Bunter.

I love them all.

The bit with the wine is one of the best things from the entire series.

[lady_ganesh]

Agreed. I really should re-read them soon.

Oh, now you've reached the end you're making me all nostalgic. I love dipping back into these characters and stories when I'm feeling down (especially the MMA-TNT-GN string, which I think contains three of the most perfect novels ever written, ESPECIALLY Gaudy Night).

Sidenote: I'm watching Madlax for the second time and for whatever reason I'm starting to hear 'Harriet Vane' for 'Vanessa Rene'. Is that good or bad?

I'd go with neutral. It means your brain is probably plotting weird crossover fic.

Hm, Harriet/Vanessa...

...yeah, seems like the sort of thing I'd write.

You are tempting me to try Sayers again. I've not yet encountered Harriet.
