Here the love that dare not speak its name (but almost does, as is characteristic of Benson’s work) is between Robin and his best buddy from (Eton and then) Camb...

Although it was written in 1916, this could easily have been written today, Eddie and Patsy (of Ab Fab fame) seem to have taken it as their manual on...
