Finally, an AU version of the Busman's Honeymoon wedding night and after sequence in which everyone (or almost everyone) ends up fairly cheerful.

Short, wrong Wimseyfic
Nov. 29th, 2012 06:33 pmInspired by a line in Busman's Honeymoon.
‘Your mother is the most sensible woman I ever met,' said Harriet. 'She has a much better grasp of the facts of life than you have.’
Bride's morning after confession. Titled clubman slays mother, then self.

Great. Having come up with that subject line I am now thinking of "I will be with you on your wedding night" and an entirely unanticipated crossover. But I digress.
It struck me - now over a month ago, the tale has been delayed in the telling - that I had been cruel to Harriet on her wedding night, and I had likewise been cruel to Peter, but there was a third person at Talboys that night (not counting the corpse, who has suffered enough) and that I ought to be cruel to him, too. I have also been cruel to all three of them at once on one occasion (in collaboration), but Bunter has so far got away without vomiting, and that must be remedied.
‘My God!’ said Peter ... ‘do you realise what will happen to us if you die of neglect and starvation?’*

Groom’s wedding night confession. Marriage nullified, judge recommends further charges.
Wimsey fic - it never ends

antisoppist again, with her comment on the last: "Will the poor three of them ever get a decent night's sleep?"
One possible answer follows...

Which is by way of a sequel to the aforementioned fic by antisoppist, in which Peter and Harriet are consigned to a haystack on their wedding night.
Some time later that night...

I’ve been cruel to Harriet, so I felt it was about time I was cruel to Peter.
Their return to Talboys was remarkable only for Peter’s observing that if one was going to be sick on one’s wedding night one might just as well have done it between Southampton and Le Havre.

Last one! The sketch of this was actually written on the same piece of paper as the AU!cowpat story of 11 months ago. How time flies…
