Sayers is just having a laugh with this. This chapter featured a policeman with a Scottish brogue interviewing the English butler who adds an "haich" before every vowel. Then who joins the conversation? Oh, the Cockney chauffeur, that's who. It felt like a Vaudevillian skit. Is this all to distract from a less-than-superb mystery? Time will tell. And that time will surely be a railroad timetable.
