Booth's Farewell Speech (?)
In today's 11/29 Chicago Tribune they list several farewell speeches with JWB listed first. "After JWB dined with his fiancee, Lucy Hale, and her mother, he took Lucy's hand and recited a line from Shakespeare , which was not unusual for the actor to do in normal conversation. Then he left to kill the president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Booth's parting words at dinner, from "Hamlet" were: Nymph, in thy orisons (prayers), be all my sins remembered"
I have read many books on the subject but this comment is a first for me. Has anyone read about this dinner with Lucy and her mother? |
