:10:21
He´s around here somewhere.
:10:23
-How about you?
-Working for your father.

There´s a shortage of housing--
:10:31
Are you all right?
:10:33

Darling, there´s someone
who wishes to meet you.
:10:41

slaves from the fields...
:10:44

a regiment of Negro soldiers.
:11:31
No, it was not just my idea.
Mr. Douglass has--
:11:35

:11:40
Coloured soldiers, Rob.
Just think of it!
:11:43
Wonderful.
:11:44

to be commissioned...
:11:46

Massachusetts lnfantry.
:11:56
Thank you, governor, that´s....
:11:59
That´s a wonderful idea.
