...Calmly, Lincoln took the boy's hand, and turning at the door with a good-natured smile, said: "Well, Judge, I reckon we'll have to finish this game some other time." Said the judge later: "If that little rascal had been a boy of mine, he never would have applied his boots to another chessboard...
