In terms of authority, the No. 2 man in the Hilton chain is astute and ambitious Robert J. Caverly, 44, who watches over all operations. General Manager Curt Strand, 42, is the boss of the international division.

Pegeen clucks over him like a pullet, the Widow Quin sets traps for him, and a bevy-for there is no other word to describe these refugees from some amateurish Pirates of Penzance-of young girls pelt him with phony giggles and surfeit him with breakfasts of duck eggs, fine fat boiled hens, cakes, and pats of butter wrapped in cabbage leaves. Too many cooks can spoil a broth of a boy, and Christy's vanity spurs...
