Synopsis
Excerpt from The Spur
Under the lantern in front of Ford's was a wooden platform where carriages could stop and the ladies get down without wet ting their slippers in case the street was muddy. Just here Johnny slackened his pace and turned and looked over his shoulder. He knew the carriage would still be standing at the curb near F Street, and yes, there it was.
He entered the theater through the second door from the right, the door President Lincoln had used an hour or so before when he arrived with his wife and two guests. The party was late and had missed the first act. The leader saw the President instantly, gave the high sign and the orchestra struck up Hail to the Chief. Lincoln bowed from the box and smiled, and people clapped.
