Who says this?
Lincoln
I happen to know it!
[Lincoln pauses and shakes his head sorrowfully.]
You see, my boy, your house is divided against itself—the symbol of our unhappy country. Of course, I didn't know of this particular case. Such things hurt me so, I refuse to know them unless I must. They tell me that Seward and Stanton have arrested without warrant and hold in jail more than thirty-five thousand men at this moment. I hope the number is exaggerated—still it may be so——
Vaughan
[Angrily.]
It's true—I've learned it since my father's arrest!
