at least he once and for all abandoned the harebrained idea of writing Alec a cheque!
Too true! Though... Alec's reaction depends on the gift and his interpretation of the gesture. A cheque would be insulting, but if Maurice got him something practical yet more personal -- like... I don't know, really good quality shoes, an expensive watch or a fancy pen set -- perhaps Alec would have cherished it as a keepsake.
God, can someone please do some AUs? Clive misses the cricket game, so no unpleasantness came about and when Maurice offers him a gift, Alec decides...? Maurice finds Alec waiting on the boat to Buenos Aires where he hands the former gamekeeper a package. Below deck, Alec opens it and discovers...? There could be disastrous hijinks where Maurice gets it all wrong or fluffy goodness where he does good. You know you want to!
