POLLY
(nodding).
What you were going to be. Tom said you'd be a lawyer. Amy said you'd be a great teacher, and I said you'd be a mender!
LINCOLN
(slowly).
A mender—! I never once thought of being a mender, Polly.
NANCY
(with a little cry).
Polly Prentice, look! Look what the time is! Ten minutes to eight! We'll be late for the corn-husking.
LINCOLN
(surprised).
Corn-husking?
POLLY
(dancing about).
Didn't you know there was to be one? Oh, I thought we'd surprise you! We're all going. You, too.
