Quotes 

• Chief Inspector Parker : And how's the investigation going? Found out anything?

  Lord Peter Wimsey : [Chuckles]  Oh, I certainly have. I have found out that the truth in advertising is like leaven hidden in the three measures of meal. It produces a quantity of gas with which to blow out a mass of crude misrepresentation into a form that the public can swallow.

• Mr. Willis : If you'll take my advice, you'll leave Dean and his precious friends alone, or you won't make yourself too popular.

  Lord Peter Wimsey : You know, that could almost sound like a threat.

  Mr. Willis : The best thing Dean ever did in his life was to fall down that staircase.

  Lord Peter Wimsey : [Quoting Shakespeare]  Nothin' in his life became him like the leavin' of it.
