stuck in a corner, who did want to be noticed, did want to have some attention paid to her. After all, the husband of her great friend, Mrs. Roosevelt, was now President and nothing conspicuous had fallen on her. She would have liked to have something conspicuous fall on her. It would boost her stock in her school, her standing in New York, and everything to be put on a President's commission for something or other. I could see that.

Then I began to realize things. This was just the time when the President had made up with Baruch. I've gone into how Baruch was originally mortified because of the fact that he owned so much gold when they called in gold, but the President had not wished to alienate Baruch. He felt sorry for poor Baruch, although he thought it was funny that Baruch was caught with the gold. However, he had no ill will toward him. He didn't want to have him too much embarrassed. He hadn't done anything dishonest in buying gold. He just had sought his own interests before he thought about the interests of the country. There was no law against it at the time, however. However, the President wanted Baruch's friendship and support because Baruch could be useful in many ways. Baruch was also very gland to come back into the circle. So the President had reestablished connections with Baruch.
