It's an accurate depiction of the public image of Harriet in certain quarters...
Peter the Sex God of later books gets on my nerves from time to time, whereas piffling Peter never does. This is where I think I have been permanently warped by reading Gaudy Night first, so that I knew Peter the Sex God (plz to be having the spoof fic about that?) before Peter the hapless piffler, who I have just rediscovered via Unnatural Death, and my god does the man talk.
Peter's so busy thinking that all that a woman needs from a man is that he be faithful that he completely fails to fall for Harriet? Nooo! Or only if Harriet still lives.
