At the gathering, a man called Douglas was again and again talking about Lincoln's low position in life and saying that he first met Lincoln when Lincoln was a shop assistant at a village shop. Finally, he said, “And Mr. Lincoln was a very good shop assistant, too.”People burst into laughter, but they quieted down when Mr. Lincoln said calmly, “Gentleman, what Mr. Douglas has said is true. I did sell cotton, candles and cigars, and sometimes whisky. But I remember that in those days Mr. Douglas was one of my best buyers. I often stood on one side of the counter and sold whisky to Mr. Douglas on the other side, but the difference between us is：I have left my side of the counter, but Mr. Douglas still_sticks_to_his_as_firmly_as_ever.”25．The story took place at a ________.A. meetingB.restaurantC. concertD. gettogether26．Why was Mr. Douglas again and again talking about Lincoln's low position in life?A.
