'They binna up! she replied, continuing to dance. He never wasted words. He continued the air with one hand and threw a stone at her with the other. He hit her on the cheek. 'You wold beast! she screamed.
Soon after coming under the care of his step-mother, the lad was afforded some similar opportunities for learning. His first master in Indiana was Azel Dorsey. The sort of education dispensed by him, and the circumstances under which it was given, are described by Mr. Ward H. Lamon, at one time Lincoln's law-partner at Springfield, Illinois.

"Bowker Bowker?" mused Mr. Brimberly. "I've 'eard the name I don't like the name, but I've 'eard it." "My daddy works here, sir," said Hazel timidly. "Bowker Bowker!" repeated Mr. Brimberly.
'No person of discretion to detain them at the 'ouse, sir, and so of course they followed Miss 'Azel down 'ere, sir. Boukets enough to last a h'ordinary person all summer, sir. And cards. And ribbands, concluded Gotham, beginning to clear the table for tea. 'Look here, Gotham, said Mr. Falkirk, from his sofa, whence his eyes followed his serving-man about.
He had never been glad to see him so far; now he was almost affectionate. 'Laws, Ed'ard! said Abel, straining the affection to breaking-point, 'you'm having a randy, and no mistake!

Two years after, Abraham went to school for several months, and in 1824 his school days came to an end. His time at school did not exceed twelve months altogether.
There were no desks, but only rough benches made of logs split in halves. In one end of the room was a huge fireplace; at the other end was the low doorway. The first teacher was a man whose name was Azel Dorsey. The term of school was very short; for the settlers could not afford to pay him much.
