Perhaps not new to everyone, but I recently read something that was new to me. I always thought Lincoln and Speed shared the same bed in the room above Speed's store because that was the only bed up there. But I am pretty sure I (of late) read that there was another bed, yet Speed and Lincoln didn't use it. Am I imagining this or has anyone else read the bed the two men shared was not the only bed in the attic? I cannot remember where I read that there was a second bed.

I would think that if there were another bed up there it would likely give more ammunition to those folks who believe Lincoln was not straight.

I recall reading that there was another area in the loft but Speed told Lincoln to share his room being that it was large and had a double bed. If there was a scond bed I imagine a cot or something far less comfortable and too short. I am still searching for the source.
