4 days into my year long daily Literature project. Sayers is best known for her crime fiction books and her literary amateur detective Lord Peter Wimsey, but she was also a fine theological writer and playwright whom I am sure I shall return to more than once during this project. Today's quotation is from a conversation between the detective and Harriet Vane the "love interest in the books".
“Do you know how to pick a lock?'
'Not in the least, I'm afraid.'
'I often wonder what we go to school for,' said Wimsey.”
― Dorothy L. Sayers, Strong Poison
@casablanca Indeed and a very interesting one too. She also did a masterful translation of Dante's 'The Divine Comedy', her letters and journals have been published. A very interesting person who has inspired and influenced many.
