The Bloody Pillow Case

[Eva Elisabeth]

Thanks, Roger!

Anita, I'm sorry, I just can't imagine someone sitting in the theater with galoshes or rubber overshoes, the least the President, as careless as he might have been about clothing and outfit. (Actually this idea struck me that much that I didn't read on carefully - sorry, Anita, for my stupid fourth question). I also can't imagine Mary would have allowed this "etiquette faux-pas". Plus - I know it was cold inside as he put his overcoat on - but wouldn't it have been quite sweaty and uncomfortable over the time with those additional rubber boots? Yes, there was a light drizzle, but how many steps were there to go through mud (and what about the ladies' shoes and long skirts)? I would assume the coachman (Burke) dropped them almost on the threshold.
