"GooD AFTERNOON, MR. GiLSON; good afternoon, Miss Peters." "Everything under control today, Walter?" "Yes, thank you, sir. Will this table be suitable?" "Fine. Is McKenzie here?" "Not yet, sir." "Bring him over as soon as he comes in, and get me a bourbon. What would you like, Anna?" "Nothing for me today." "Miss Peters doesn't trust me, Walter. Do I look as though I've reached the dangerous age?" Walter laughed politely. In length of service, he outranked even Gilson. He knew everyone and everything, and, better yet, he knew how to keep his mouth shut. "Perhaps Miss Peters would like some juice?" "Yes, please." Walter headed for the bar, his dignified gray presence sending the lesser inhabitants of the executive dining room into flurries of activity. Gilson watched him with approval, then swung his heavy head to examine the rest of the diners. A phalanx of junior executives diminished under his gaze, a member of the board waved, a visiting stockbroker whispered to his companion. Gil-son surveyed his domain, twisted his neck as if his immaculate collar was too tight, and consulted the menu with studied disdain. New World Oil's best cuisine suited him very well, but, like his major domo, he was ever prepared for human frailty and culinary lapses. "I think I'll have the sole," he remarked. "Martha thinks I'm too fat." "I'll have the same." |
