The New York Salinger, she said silentiy, then swifdy changed it. The New York Beacon Hill. The Philadelphia Beacon Hill. The Washington Beacon Hill.

Felix, I've got my start now. And one of these days you and your family are going to know I'm here. I'll own the hotels you stole from me and swore I'd never have; I'll fill them with the kind of famous, wealthy, powerful people you admire most; and I'll make them pay.

She turned and left the lounge to join Currier and dress for dinner. She was smiling to herself. And then, Felix, you'll know that Owen and I beat you after all.

Chapter 19

/ / TTE can be vice president for security," Felix I—I snapped to his daughter, who was calling from J^ JL Amsterdam, and his wife, who was on an extension telephone in another room of the house. **l told you that a month ago, and I haven't changed my mind. I also told you it's tentative. We don't know anything about him except the reports I've gotten from the hotel's management— '*

"I've told you all about him," Allison said. "I've been telling you about him for over a year."

"You've been giving us romantic twaddle for over a year. And you refused to let us meet him; when you came home to visit, you came alone, and you told us you didn't want us there. And your cousin Patricia thinks he's a fortune hunter. I shouldn't be promising him a job at all; we're cutting back, not expanding, and I can't think of one good reason why he should get an executive's desk without working his way up from the bottom."

"He did that in Amsterdam. And he's going to be your son-in-law."

**That's no reason. Thomas Janssen is my brother-in-law, but he doesn't work for the company anymore."

"He left on his own," Leni put in quietly. "As soon as Owen died. And he's still a shareholder and member of the boani."

"I'm asking you to do it," Allison said. "Is that a good reason?"

Inheritance

There was a pause. Like mother, like daughter, Felix thought: cold and independent. They don't ask for love. No wonder I don't love them.

But he still felt the same pride in them he had felt for twenty-four years; it had never waned, and by now he thought I of it as a kind of love. When he saw them together, their I striking angular elegance causing passers-by to turn as they ! walked down the street, he had the same sense of achievement and possession he had when he walked through one of his i hotels. He became larger, more visible, more envied: Felix I Salinger, who had outstripped his father in vastly expanding his hotel empire, who was changing the kind of empire it was I by getting rid of its small properties and concentrating on [ mammoth ones, who had even outdone his father in his family j Ufe—his father's wife had died after ten years of marriage, I but Felix still had his wife.
