( A bit spoilery but not much. )

I will leave you with an extract from the sequel to David Blaize, which I am reading at the moment, and is called David at King's. David has gone up to Cambridge, and while he is still three years behind Maddox, Maddox has thoughtfully elected to do a second tripos, just so that he can be near David again, as far as I can make out. Maddox (Frank) is in David's room, and they are talking about Gurls. David is not too keen on them.

"But O Lord, how I love my friends: isn't that enough for a chap till he falls in love in the regular way? If I'd got to kiss somebody I'd kiss one of them. You for choice, because I'm much fonder of you than the rest of them."
Frank burst out laughing at these surprising philosophies.
"Oh, David," he said, "there's no one like you. You always make me feel as if I had just had a bath with plenty of soap."
