 | | For example, Mary Wimsey's utterly guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice: she lied to investigators and on the witness stand to protect her boyfriend, who she suspected of having killed her fiance. |
| | As another example, during the trial, the appearance of a particularly elusive witness is attributed to "Parker's diligence." While Parker is a diligent detective, one can't help but suspect that he might not have been quite so diligent if the accused had not been a) a Duke, and b) the brother of his friend. |
| | I don't doubt that a lower-class person who did a similar thing would have been treated quite differently from Mary, who not only gets off scott-free, her behavior is lauded before the House of Lords. |
