By the time of the short story "Talboys", they have three sons: Bredon Delagardie Peter Wimsey (born in October 1936), Roger Wimsey (born 1938), and Paul Wimsey (born 1940 or 1941). Chronologically between the two are "The Wimsey Papers", a series of epistolary articles Sayers wrote for "The Spectator" at the beginning of World War II. Jill Paton Walsh referenced "The Wimsey Papers" in writing "A Presumption of Death", set at the beginning of the Second World War, in which Harriet takes a leading role. Sayers told friends orally that Harriet and Peter Wimsey were to have five children in all, though she did not disclose the names and sexes of the two youngest children.
