"Peter, what did you mean when you said that anybody could have the harmony if they would leave us the counterpoint?"
"Why," he said, shaking his head, "that I like my music polyphonic. If you think I meant anything else, you know what I meant."

Summary
For all that it retained some prestige as one of the oldest continually operating bookshops in London, A.Z. Fell & Co had an abysmal reputation among the social circles Lord Peter Wimsey had inveigled himself into following the War - being made up primarily of self-proclaimed intellectuals, artistes, and independently wealthy collectors of incunabula, this was perhaps not entirely surprising. Familiarity breeds contempt, or so Peter had heard.
“Awful atmosphere,” Marjorie had offered over tea - a fine lapsang souchong as it happened - when Peter was last in Bloomsbury. “Felt as if a leak was about to erupt at any moment. I wouldn’t be surprised if the owner doesn’t keep a tiger caged up somewhere ready to unleash on any unsuspecting fool who actually attempts to buy something.”
