Dash it *all*, I have spent much of this evening consumed by a mad desire to put Lord Peter Wimsey and young Brucie Wayne in a locked room together. (The chronology even fits, if you use Earth-2 Brucie, who's the best of the lot anyway!) They could spend the time talking about rare-book collecting, their mutual hobby!

It's just too bad that I have a near-zero chance of ever knowing either canon well enough to write in it, much less getting the in-period speech patterns right.
