My memory is indeed fading. In Twenty Days, on p. 131, it says, "Behind the hearse Robert Lincoln and Tad Lincoln rode in a carriage together."

Thanks Roger. Memory is a great deceiver. Perhaps there are some whose memories act like tape recordings or so, people who can record every detail, but I am not one of them. My memory is like patchwork and sections of my memory seem to have vanished completely. It was Stephen King who said that time is the thief of memory and he is right...
