NANCY
(relenting).

AMY
(as they group themselves in fire-glow).

Sit over here, Nancy. Isn't the corn splendid?

LINCOLN
(from where he is sitting).

Any news, Tom? How's the wolf-hunting getting on? Anybody got one?

TOM.

I heard in the store to-night that Hugh Foster had killed one. It may be only a rumor. You're not fond of hunting, are you, Abe?

LINCOLN.

Oh, I try at it once in a while, Tom, but I'm not very keen. You boys get more out of it than I do.
