Lasker:

They came back.

Q:

Where are they?

Lasker:

Here in the house.

Q:

Well, another very pleasant occasion, very unusual, was that I went with the Blairs to a charming dinner of about 60 people. I went with Mr. and Mrs. Blair to the F Street Club to a party given by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Rogers. Now, very few Congressmen or Senators ever entertain, and -- or certainly never entertain me, and I doubt they entertain very much. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers give a party usually once a year, and this was their party of the year and it was charming. Mr. Rogers gave a toast.
