Those Booth Horses Again -

[L Verge]

That is exactly what I am proposing, Jerry, and now that it's Easter, you can cut the sarcasm. Good scholars don't operate that way. I realize that any suggestion I make will be cast off by you because it might threaten your premise. I learned that several years ago. But it's not going to stop me from my theories either.

Peanuts was as caught off guard as anyone in the audience. He had no idea what had just happened and why Booth was in such a hurry. In the flash of a moment, one does not always remember what just happened. I have had a necklace slip off me and I never realized it until I was home and started to remove it. None of us can know what we would have done that night or what we would remember seeing. I suspect that many of us would have bounded up the aisles in retreat to the lobby and Tenth Street for self-preservation. And then, we would have talked long and hard about what we "did to help in stopping Lincoln's killer..."
