Harlequin is the only version of Wimsey who could make that genuinely absurd leap into the fountain without dying! In general MMA & the Harlequin plot is the one that emphasizes Peter's Physical Prowess and Dangerous Glamour the most, which is something that gets cranked up to eleven in Lymond -- he's stronger than he looks but none of the other books have him actually pulling off near-superhuman physical feats -- and the Harlequin's kind of disdainful seduction of Dian de Momerie is also echoed in the way that Lymond interacts with 90% of his antagonists.
