Like water downhill


According to the poet Walt Whitman, "As is well known, story-telling was often with President Lincoln a weapon which he employed with great skill.

“Very often he would not give a point-blank reply or comment, and these indirections, (sometimes funny, but not always so,) were probably the best responses possible.”

They certainly flowed from him on a regular basis, like water down hill.
