I bet Nigel Bathgate has to set some reporters straight down at the reporters' pub, or wherever it is reporters hang out. No, the Handsome Detective is obviously not Peter Wimsey, why would they even think that? He's not even properly police!
Do you think Peter realizes that he is a thorn in Alleyn's side, or is he dazzlingly oblivious? I could see it going either way. I imagine they belong to at least one of the same clubs - possibly it's Alleyn's only club; I can't see him collecting clubs - and whenever they meet there, Peter is wreathed in smiles and Alleyn wishes that he'd stayed down at the police station, where one is safe from amateur detectives.
