2ND SPECTATOR
"Like many things that are long lived, many say it has always been. My inquiry into the matter, shows that it resembles a situation in the Torah, where apples had been stolen from a prize orchard. One suspect was a hopeless cripple with no legs. The other man was quite blind. The trees were trimmed in such a way that the apples hung nine feet from the ground. They were both seen eating from this prize variety. I believe that it was the first year of the discovery of 'The Golden Delicious' apples. They both pleaded a good case of innocence and no one looking at them, believed them capable of the theft. However, they were confronted by a small child who had witness the crime and who had in her possession an apple of this variety, given to her to keep her quiet. It seems that the cripple had been lifted to the blind man's shoulders and indeed the crime was equally their's. This is why on the day of judgment, the soul says it sinned because of the wantness of the body or conversely."

1ST SPECTATOR
"Who then, will confront Mr. Lincoln?"

2ND SPECTATOR
"Only the Ages know. He had to await the death of one of his seeds. An idea is a strange seed; it may spring quickly or lay dormant for years."

1ST SPECTATOR
"Why the interest in leaders...?"

2ND SPECTATOR
"Because the touch so many more lives, than you or I. When above, you would read about Bluebeard, or the Strangler, rather than a man who simply killed his wife."

1ST SPECTATOR
"Will you candidly give me your opinion of Mr. Lincoln? We are friends..your academic status will not diminish in my eyes...that is if you are wrong. It will add zest to my watching the confrontation, if I have a little pre-knowledge of the principals."
