At the beginning of the discussion, the participants mentioned what power Toohey has over the people in the room described in chapter 6 of the book. Opinions were expressed about why Dominique suddenly refuses a private wedding and demands the most public, extravagant ceremony possible.

In the second part of the meeting, the attendees discussed the love relationship between Wynand and Dominique presented in the mentioned chapters of the book and whether it is the highest form of love in Rand’s world or is it still fundamentally egocentric. The biggest order of Roark’s career was also mentioned, and it was noted that it was only being done because the owners chose him as “the worst idiot they could find.”
