Theodore Roosevelt returns the book he borrowed from Father Belford, and gladly accepts the proffered gift. He wishes he could accept Belford’s invitation to dinner, but has made a point of refusing every invitation to dine out in order to have some time to himself. Roosevelt counteroffers by inviting Belford and his friends to have lunch with him at Oyster Bay.
