Lincoln." I remember feeling greatly relieved, for I was a young fellow then, and tremendousl}' in awe of the President. It was so kindly a thing for him to do, you know ; and I was turning away, when he called me back in a voice that had in it a curious kind of feeling. " Young man," he said, " go just where you are ordered. Do your duty," and he added 50 LINCOLN AT WORK other words that are not at all likely to be for- gotten. Very quickly I was out in the open air, thinking more about him th...an about anything or anybody else ; but the one thing I did not know came to my mind before Sunday, — Mr. Lincoln had been listening for the Sumter gun that morning. I saw him at about eight o'clock, three and a half hours after it was fired. Had he actually heard it, do you sup- pose, at that distance ? Or was he only so sure of its firing that he was going over to his of- fice to call out the militia and the volunteers and send the ships to sea ? At all events, no portrait-painter ever had a better opportunity to do something famous than one would have who could transfer to canvas the weird, lost, all but ghastly, expression, through which, nevertheless, a strange fire of courage and determination was blazing, as the President paused in the dim hallway, gazing southward.
