Great progress on this, Tod, and love the treatment you give Lincoln. Wasn’t expecting an entrance by him. The only comment might be the legless man playing his flute, because considering he just endured major surgery without pain meds only a few hours earlier, I’m just not sure he would have the energy, stamina, or will to play music. Still, I suppose there are people out there who are much stronger than I could ever be.
Good comment. But hang in there . The meds are about to make an appearance. Chloroform was in common use for surgery during the war, and so were opium pills for after, and general zoning out. Indeed, many wounded veterans became addicted to opium. Sound familiar? The legless man is rather a bull of a man physically, but I'm afraid the damage to his psyche will prove to be too much for him.
This is great stuff, Tod, particularly the roles women are playing.
Thanks Janet, and special thanks for becoming a paid subscriber. Means a lot.
The turn this took --- a surprise, a total surprise. Well done!
Right. Just had to mention that hat.

Great scene. Love the magical realism with the 🎩🎶🌷
Thanks Lucinda. That hat is sort of magical isn't it.
It is❣️
Just realizing that a certain contemporary POTUS is attempting to channel Abe Lincoln, big-hatwise. But he doesn't get it.
