2019/139: Busman's Honeymoon -- Dorothy Sayers [reread]
"Gawdstrewth!" cried Bunter. The mask came off him all in one piece, and nature, red in tooth and claw, leapt like a tiger from ambush. "Gawdstrewth! Would you believe it? All his lordship's vintage port!" He lifted shaking hands to heaven. "You lousy old nosy-parking bitch! You ignorant, interfering old bizzom! Who told you to go poking your long nose into my pantry?" [p. 311]


Having reread and re-enjoyed Gaudy Night -- and discovered that a number of Sayers' novels are available in the public domain, i.e. for free -- I decided to reread the final book in the Wimsey sequence.some spoilers )
