I feel that he has somehow betrayed what he and Alec had together in the Russet Room by showing Alec's letter to Lasker Jones, who then burns it Yes, that was nasty. Actually, I'm surprised that Lasker Jones burnt it. I can understand Maurice regarding the letter as if it somehow stands for Alec and by destroying he's destroying the experiences they shared, but Lasker Jones seems all too calm and composed to do anything quite so melodramatic.
And the return of Maurice's awareness of class... He can be a proper snob sometimes and it's so annoying; suddenly Alec cannot be trusted at all, suddenly everything Alec does has an ulterior motive. Grrr.
