Abraham Lincoln:
I did say some colored men, the intelligent, the educated, and veterans, I qualified it.
James Ashley:
Mr. Stevens is furious, he wants to know why you qualified it.
Schuyler Colfax:
No one heard the intelligent or the educated part. All they heard was the first time any president has ever made mention of Negro voting.
Abraham Lincoln:
Still, I wish I'd mentioned it in a better speech.
James Ashley:
Mr. Stevens also wants to know why you didn't make a better speech.
[There's a knock on the door; John Nicolay enters.]
John Nicolay:
Mrs. Lincoln's waiting in the carriage. She wants me to remind you of the hour, and that you'll have to pick up Miss Harris and Major Rathbone.
Abraham Lincoln:
Am I in trouble?
William Slade:
No, sir.
[Slade hands Lincoln his gloves as Colfax and Ashley drain their drinks and rise.]
Abraham Lincoln:
I suppose it's time to go though I would rather stay.
[On the way out, Lincoln tosses the gloves on a side table. Slade grabs them, considers chasing after Lincoln, then walks back towards the office. Slade turns and watches till Lincoln turns the corner and is gone.]
