I am not so sure that "Lincoln [was] the indulgent parent." It is highly likely that Mary had sent one of the boys to call for her husband to dinner two times.

"it was to the noon hour until one of Lincoln's boys came running with a message from his mother announcing dinner at the Lincoln home, a few steps away." . . . "almost a half an hour had passed. Presently the boy returned with a second and more urgent call for dinner."

And, it is highly likely that Tad was the son in question.
