And, as well as the masochism, can the modern scholar also detect a tell-tale hint of bestiality?
In fact horses in Have His Carcase seem to bring out the worst in Wimsey, and in Sayers. He tells Harriet in one of his more jocular moments, “You miserable little cockney... Your knowledge of horses is comprised in the rhyme which says, 'I know two things about the horse and one of them is rather coarse.' ...Wretched girl - wait till we are married. You shall fall off a horse every day until you learn to sit on it.”
More bestiality, of course. Its ghostly footprints - or hoofprints - are everywhere.
Ahahahaha. Although actually, all those essays are sources of inadvertent hilarity. Like the guy who writes fantasy but is embarrassed to tell people because they might think he writes like Tolkien, when he actually is just drawn to the boundaries of genres....
