Abe Lincoln At Last!: A Merlin Mission - Plot & Excerpts
CHAPTER FIVELeave Now! “Excuse me, young lady!” Mr. Nicolay said. “This is not a time for play.” “I’m not playing, sir,” said Annie as she and Jack stood at the front of the crowd. “We’re friends of Tad and Willie’s, and Willie just told us to come here to the president’s office. He wants to introduce us to his dad.” Mr. Nicolay scowled. “I’m afraid Mr. Willie misspoke. The president does not have time to meet you now,” he said. “He is in a private meeting with delegates from California, Indiana, and Maine.” “Maybe later, then?” said Annie. “Not maybe later,” said Mr. Nicolay. “After this meeting he is scheduled to have a meeting with his generals, and then a meeting with the Department of the Navy.” “Excuse me—” a man in the crowd called out. “But I heard the president say he’d like to meet us!” Jack broke in. “I can’t imagine why he said that,” said Mr. Nicolay, shaking his head. “Following all the meetings I just listed, President Lincoln will meet with foreign diplomats, then with a group of senators, and then with reporters from the New York Times.”
