Mrs. Lincoln
Mr. Lincoln will be here in a few minutes. I'll have him see your sweetheart first——
Betty
But—it's a personal matter and he doesn't wish to come to a public reception. He wants an hour alone—— Could you get it for him, to-night?
Mrs. Lincoln
I—think—so——
Betty
You'll try——?
Mrs. Lincoln
I'll do it, child—certainly! You're one loyal friend we have in that crowd of wolves on the Capitol Hill——
