He was actually a bit in love with Harriet; it wasn't just put on for his uncle. But he'd never have articulated it; she was way out of his league, and anyway, Bunter would have had his liver if he'd done anything to hurt Uncle Peter.
He kept up his incunabula collecting, in a quiet way. He wasn't just spending his income on girls and drink and telegraph poles at Oxford... He would have got a third, but in the viva, an examiner got him on to the subject of incunabula, and as a result he scraped a decent second.
He died in the war (heroically, after doing great things for the RAF). I don't like this, much, but I'm afraid I'm convinced of it.
