After he'd followed Roger's example and trampled the sand castle of the three littluns Maurice hurried away and to quote from the book... 'In his other life Maurice had received chastisement for filling a younger eye with sand. Now, though there was no parent to let fall a heavy hand, Maurice still felt the unease of wrong-doing. At the back of his mind formed the uncertain outlines of an excuse.' Essential Maurice had been punished for hurting at least one younger child in the past and knew that he had just done something wrong again. So, he was guiltily preparing an excuse to try and avoid a punishment which wasn't going to happen, as there was nobody around to call him to account.
