Robert Eddie Willie and Tad
you will go in the minds of Ulysses S Grant Willie and Tad to the day they were born to Abe's death
Mr Hey: there is a lot of trouble brewing Mr President you may even find you have some injured men on your hands when you get to Virginia
Abe: I sincerely hope not I sincerely hope not nothing was ever really gained by appealing anything from the ballot to a bullet
Mr Hey: how do you feel about going to Virginia anyway sometimes I have a feeling you would rather stay on right here and be a President of the White House
Abe: how do I feel going to Virginia I'll tell you once there was a fellow here who was being ridden out of town on a rail by the angry citizens somebody in the crowd yelled at him and said hey how do you like the ride the fellow on the rail replied with what dignity he could muster under the circumstances well sir if it weren't for the honor of the thing I'd just as soon walk
Mary: Thomas Lincoln Tad Lincoln what are you doing with that horrible creature
Tad: just bringing him home
Mary: well get him out of here get him out this instant
Tad: he's mine
Mary: you can't bring a goat in here
Tad: I'll take him to the room
Mary: I won't have a goat in the barn either goats horrors he'd be eating the clothes off the line and digging up the garden and smelling up the place for miles around get him out do you understand get out take him back where he came from I'll have no goat
Abe: I should have told you that mother wouldn't let you keep a goat here I guess I never thought you wouldn't really sell that horse for Miss Sophia and get him looks like a pretty good goat too
Tad: he's a wonderful goat with whiskers
Abe: taddie my son I think you'd better take this goat back to Miss Sophia she'll be pretty lonesome you know with Jeff gone too
Tad: that's right I never thought of that
Abe: he can be yours but let her keep him for you he'll be your responsibility of course so perhaps we could let her gave blackie too when we go away that would short of pay her for the troubles
