...Cavernous convention centers, often municipally financed and usually little more than a big enclosed space, are popping up across the country like second-story men at a jewelers convention.

Comic relief appears with Merriman (John Welsh), a teetering old headwaiter, and Starr (John Cater), the imperturbable hall porter. Asked by Louisa during his job interview whether he fought in the Boer War, Starr gazes at her evenly and pauses. "Very possibly," he finally answers. Christopher Cazenove lends his Arrow-shirt ad good looks as Charlie Tyrrell, alternately Louisa's benefactor, lover and friend...
