Booth
No!
Never with him again. And as for that
My next part will be Brutus.
(He goes into the theatre.)
Scene IV. Lincoln and Mrs. Lincoln Driving to the Theatre.
Lincoln
Mary, the war is over. We have had
Hard times since we came here. But now, thank God,
The war is over. We may hope for peace,
And happiness for the four years that remain,
While I close up my work as President.
Then back to Illinois to rest and live.
I have some money saved. Wrote recently
To friends to find a house for me in Chicago—
We can live there, or Springfield. Law again,
At least enough to keep us.
Mrs. Lincoln
That’s my dream,
And from this night we start to live, rejoice.
(They drive on.)
