Your favourite scenes between Peter and Harriet?


I love the big argument scene in Have His Carcase. Harriet says she doesn't want Peter meddling in her affairs. My heart breaks for him, he loves her so much and their cruel words to one another hurt each other a great deal. Superb acting from both Edward and Harriet in this scene. Edward makes me laugh so much when he says "don't call me dreary" and makes her laugh.

The prison scene in Strong Poison. Where Peter holds Harriet's hands when she cries. Then the prison guard makes them stop because there can be no physical contact. Love how angry and upset Edward makes Peter in this moment, he want's to show some kindness to Harriet and can't.

When Peter asks her to marry him in Have His Carcase. She looks at him all serious and says "certainly not, it's 25 to 9".


The final scene at Oxford in Gaudy Night. (Finally!)



Go to bed Frank or this is going to get ugly .
