I don't seem to have re-read this for a long time.

This is the one where Peter saves Harriet from being convicted of murdering her former lover. Peter prattles on like an idiot, amazingly. Not really knowing how courtship is supposed to take place in that time and place, I don't know how weird it is.

This one uses a lot of the same quotes that are in
