I love how set the Durhams seem set on slighting Maurice only to end up liking him because he simply didn't care. Yes, I like it too.
After admitting that he was initially attracted to Maurice's beauty, he's not comfortable when Maurice returns the favor with a little more... zeal It struck me just now that Clive's admission is once again something to do with Plato (at least to some extent), but Maurice misses the reference. But that's where it starts, isn't it, being attracted to the beauty of a young man, which will lead you to higher and better things (as long as you resist taking him to your bed).
