Aaron's niece, Natalie, captures Byron's heart but Aaron-and later Natalie-encounter problems trying to escape from war-torn Europe because both are Jews. Byron is seeking his masters degree but drops out of school to work for a famous author, Aaron Jastrow. She ignores the demand, gets a job at CBS and launches her career, though she is also building a relationship with a married man, her boss, Hugh Cleveland. Madeline does not want to go to school but Victor refuses to hear of her living in New York. Warren is solid, like Victor, and is training to be a Navy pilot. They have three grown children-Byron, Warren and Madeline. Rhoda and Victor, having been married twenty-five years, are comfortable with each other though both feel they have not gotten all from their marriage they wanted. Rhoda, Victor's wife, acts typically by lashing out at Victor as she prepares for the move and then finding her sense of adventure at the foreign assignment. Victor finally decides that he really has no choice in the matter and accepts the assignment as naval attaché in Berlin. As he puts it, when the Navy considers commanders for a ship, the amount of time on the water is a huge factor. Victor only wants to command a ship of his own and fears that the assignment will not further his career. Victor "Pug" Henry arrives home from the Navy Building worried about his career.
