Quotes 

• Lord Peter Wimsey : [Sneaks up on Farran, who has been on the run for several days earning money by doing artwork]  A bit extravagant with the Flake White, aren't we?

  Hugh Farren : Wimsey! By all that's holy! How the devil did you find me?

  Lord Peter Wimsey : Well, if you will go about the countryside leaving a trail of newly-painted pub signs behind you, it ain't exactly difficult.

• Hugh Farren : [Discussing the circumstances of his disappearance]  Well, I can't possibly make you understand.

  Lord Peter Wimsey : You're not doin' badly at all.

  Hugh Farren : Ah, but you're rich, Wimsey. There's nothing to stop you doing exactly what you want. Why do you take the trouble to be respectable?

  Lord Peter Wimsey : Precisely because there's nothin' to stop me doin' exactly as I want. I get my fun out of it.

  Hugh Farren : I know you do. It's odd. You create an illusion of liberty. Is it the money or just... just being unmarried?
