Lincoln
[Ignoring his grief.]
If I've won you, I can win others, if I only get their ear and make them know as you know! All I need is a little time! And I'm going to fight for it now——
[With quick uplift of spirit.]
I've told you the truth and the truth has turned a murderer into my friend! If only the people can know—can have time to think, I'll win—I'll win—! Look here—I've won you now——?
Vaughan
[Eagerly.]
Just give me a chance to prove it——!
[Lincoln studies Vaughan thoughtfully.]
