William Dudley Foulke and his wife, Mary T. R. Foulke, hear gossip and “cock-and-bull stories” about Theodore Roosevelt during their stay in Washington D.C. He believes “one cannot argue with absolute unreason” and advises Roosevelt wait until the tide turns. Foulke finds the new Japanese ambassador, Baron Kōsai Uchida, admirable and sincere in his appreciation of Roosevelt’s friendship for Japan.
