The Conscience of the Queen , by Ione (PG)

Why this must be read:
At this season of the year, as Wimsey fandom waits with collective fingers crossed against the coming of Yuletide and with a bit of luck another few fics to add to its store, it’s also a good time to look back at what previous Yuletide years have brought. This story takes a look at Peter and Harriet in their first year of married life in London, as Harriet deals with married life, social life, pregnancy and - of course - a mystery. There are welcome appearances from old friends - and enemies, not least Miss Climpson, who for me is one of the treats of this piece. Not to mention that really long fics are all too rare in this fandom.
Harriet sat there on the uncomfortable chair, glowering at the rapidly cooling tea in its dainty Victorian crockery that probably had been Miss Climpson's in her girlhood. As the clock ticked on the wall next Miss Climpson's tidy desk, Harriet's thoughts bumbled pointlessly like a fly caught between windows. On one side there was her absolute trust in her husband; on the other, the malicious intentions of . . . who? Why?
