Balliol portrait of Lord Peter Wimsey


I'm not sure I like this - there's no slanted smile. But the hooded eyes and beaky nose are about right. Surely, the monocle is a little large though...

Well of course, that portrait was taken before some of the formative events in his life, so it doesn't have all the character he gained in later years. Congratulations on beating your big sister to the world of blogs. I'm jealous!

Oh Beth, Beth, Beth! How the mighty have fallen! A blog. Oh the shame! Linda is mortified, and I, I am at a loss for words.

Linda is currently on the couch with her foot propped up. She had her big toenail removed and is waiting for the numbness to wear off. She is getting plenty of Spider Solitaire practice though.

I will seek him at Starbucks as he is awfully cute, monocle and all. As I have not "met" him personally, do you know if he is familiar with Mr Lewis or his beliefs?
