Team of Rivals

"The next week, Lincoln related a peculiarly pleasant dream.  He was at a party, he told Hay, and overheard one of the guests say of him, 'He is a very common-looking man.'  In the dream, he relished his reply: 'The Lord prefers Common-looking people that is the reason he makes so many of them'  His dreamed response still amused him as he recalled it the next day."  (593)
