A quick observation pulled from memory of last summer's group-read of 
/Bitter Lemons/:  The delayed understanding of Gideon would mark some 
similarity between how Durrell presents character in /Bitter Lemons/ and 
in /Reflections/. 

I am recalling how the cab driver and so many other subsequent 
characters appear first as stereotypes or unknowables and then quicken 
into sympathetic figures.

Drink is usually the quickening agent, the necessary ingredient in the 
recipe.  Recall the bottle of ouzo on the road &c.
