The Mother

I went straight from the depot to the War Office and then I just walked the street blind with crying till I made up my mind to come here.

Lincoln

We'll fix that then! Nicolay will write you an order that will take you and your baby to a good hospital and care for you till your husband comes—and fix it so he can stay here a week with you——

The Mother

[Laughs.]

I just can't thank you! I'm so happy, all I can do is to laugh!

Lincoln

Laugh on, little mother—and off with you now—clear out!

[The mother goes out laughing.]
