+ Is it just me or does Clive seems to fall into sickness whenever he is consumed with doubt?
+ Now that he has passed the bar, Clive wonders if anyone really wants him involved in politics. This may have lead to him wondering to the state of his life in general. And so he fled to the Halls where he usually finds solace, but instead of sensing the turmoil in Clive, Maurice was dull and uninteresting.
+ After fainting, Clive preferred the nurse though he "loved [Maurice] as never before." Perhaps this was partially due to Maurice's "screw the office" attitude. Suddenly this casual disregard for duty annoyed Clive, an about face from their university days when he thought little of Maurice skipping lectures.
+ I suppose this is where I would probably admit my defeat where it comes to Maurice and Clive's unsuitability if I wasn't so stubborn. The fact that Maurice hopes to cheer up Clive by example shows how little they truly understand one another. His running up to Penge uninvited in the first place tells us he's getting desperate.
+ Clive is a man of words. If he's speaking meanly, he's probably spoiling for a fight. By not taking offense, Maurice is only making matters worse.
+ Clive begins to voice about his misgivings on homosexuality. His crawling into Maurice's bed was obviously a test of sorts. A test for the despicable impulse in himself... but maybe for Maurice as well. (If it does, then Clive awakened something in him... and he is to blame. If it doesn't, then obviously it is Clive alone that has driven Maurice this far... and he is to blame.)
What would have happened if Maurice wasn't too afraid to reach out? I mean, Clive would have gone on believing that Maurice didn't know what the hell he was talking about if Maurice hadn't kissed him. Would Clive caved in once more?
