In one way the Lax family were lucky. Henry Lax, Peter's father, was a doctor who had the American consul in Budapest as one of his patients, and perhaps more importantly the two were good friends.
Sa isang paraan na ang hinga ng pamilya ay mapalad. Henry lax, Peter's ama, ay isang doktor na ang mga Amerikano konsul sa Budapest bilang isa sa kanyang mga pasyente, at marahil mas mahalaga ang dalawa ay mabuting kaibigan.
