It's the little things...

I guess it's been a while since I last re-read "The Serpent's Shadow" by Mercedes Lackey, because it was with great surprise that I greeted Lord Peter Whimsey as a secondary character, lock, stock and personality quirk, under a pretty flimsy alias.  Lackey even threw in an epistolary epigraph among the man's relatives!  I'd caught Laurie King's homage when she did it, but apparently, hadn't read Sayers yet last time this tome graced my eyes.  How many other places does the man pop up?

I was heartily amused & am tempted to go back and visit Sayers again (still hard to believe I'd never read any of her works until about 3-4 years ago).
