This is one of my all time favorite stories, not only because of the amzing descriptions of the machine Lincoln, and the father/son episode at Gettysburg, but alsso the word play between Bayes and Booth:
"Mr....Boot?"
"Yes."
"Mr....John Wilkes Booth?"
"Norman Llewellyn Booth. Only the last name is...is the same."
"Why. WHY!?"
"To good a chance to miss." (paraphrased)

I find this a riveting lin, "To good a chance to miss. think about what it means to you, give me a reply.
