1. What Bunter wants. Assuming that they do anything at all*. It is possible that such relationship as there is never gets past the "I wouldn't mind a go at that"/"An affair with my uncle's valet would be a bit edgy" stage. Alternative scenario to both the above is solitary passionate yearning (to coin a euphemism). 2. Saint-George. Bunter's hair is perfectly serviceable and greying gratifyingly slowly, but it is not particularly pretty. 3. They tend to avoid arguing as much as possible, as they sense it wouldn't go well. Bunter is occasionally unable to bite back comments about Saint-George's casual irresponsibility being a rather unattractive feature, and Saint-George thinks that Bunter's retreat when challenged into Perfect Unmovable Servant is highly annoying and an unfair way of shutting down an argument. 4. Bunter, I expect. Because he's used to the fact that life is non-ideal, and has a great deal of practice in shutting things away and generally coping in public. Also, the fact that he has known S-G since he was a little boy gives some sort of excuse for being sad when he doesn't conceal it. Whereas Saint-George has to put up with Helen saying that it's really a good thing because the man had far too much hold over Peter, quite sinister really, and ideas far above his station. 5. Probably, given all the complications, that it remains a no-strings-attached occasional shag arrangement, with no deep emotional involvement that both enjoy while it lasts and don't regret when it is over. Alternatively, if both of them were a lot braver than they are, then post-war Bunter retires from his job with Peter, goes off to live in the south of France and take photographs, and Saint-George spends a lot of time there. Between them they have sufficient blackmail material to keep everyone's mouth shut.
