TOM.

Remember the raccoon hunt we had last summer?

LINCOLN.

Yes, I remember. (Facing about.) To tell you the truth, Tom, I don't mind if things have to be killed outright; but I hate to see them in cages. I like to see 'em free.

TOM.

I know you do, Abe.

POLLY
(merrily).

Oh, Abe, before you came we were all guessing——

LINCOLN.

Guessing?
