Before leaving the house that morning she had vigorously brushed Lincoln's coat, had laid out a fresh collar and carefully ironed his best tie. She was anxious to have him appear to advantage. But the day was hot, and Lincoln knew the air in the hall would be oppressive. So he strode onto the platform without a coat, without a vest, without a collar, without a tie. His long, brown, skinny neck rose out of the shirt that hung loosely on his gaunt frame. His hair was disordered, his boots rusty and unkempt. One single knitted \"gallis\" held up his short, ill-fitting trousers. At the first sight of him, Mary Lincoln flushed with anger and embarrassment. She could have wept in her disappointment and despair. No one dreamed of it at the time, but we know now that this homely man, whose wife was ashamed of him, was starting out that hot October afternoon on a career that was to give him a place among the immortals.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Dale Carnegie" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/dale-carnegie/mary-lincoln-was-already-in-the-audience-before-leaving-the-house/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c56/dale-carnegie-382_first-sight_mary-lincoln-was-already-in-the-audience_3181500.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c56/dale-carnegie-382_first-sight_mary-lincoln-was-already-in-the-audience_3181500.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c56/dale-carnegie-382_first-sight_mary-lincoln-was-already-in-the-audience_3181500.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Mary Lincoln was already in the audience.
