Castles segues into "eavesdropping" on a couple discussing Dumbarton Oaks. ~ Husband Phillip and wife Margaret discuss Dumbarton Oaks, Phillip is trying to learn more about it, but Margaret distracts him and doesn't see why he spends his time thinking about it. The couple have a son, John, at war. Margaret believes that regular people can't do anything about war and conflict, that is the work of politician and statesmen. ~ Duncan and Janet drop in, followed by George and Alice. Duncan disagrees with Margret's view. George and Alice's son was killed in the war, and they feel strongly that it is the people's responsibility to understand the basic facts of the conference.

At the end of their conversation the three couples decide to have weekly meetings to discuss Dumbarton Oaks so that they might better understand it.
