When the cowgirls of the show were presented to the Princess they stepped forward and offered their hands, which were taken and well shaken in true democratic fashion.
Red Shirt, the most important chief in the outfit, was highly pleased when he learned that a princess was to visit him in his camp.

He had the Indian gift of oratory, and he replied to her greeting with a long and eloquent speech, in which his gestures, if not his words, expressed plainly the honor he felt in receiving so distinguished a lady.

The fact that he referred to Alexandria as a squaw did not seem to mar her enjoyment.
That the Prince was really pleased with the exhibition was shown by the fact that he made an immediate report of it to his mother.

Shortly thereafter I received a command from Queen Victoria to appear before her.
This troubled me a good deal--not that I was not more than eager to obey this flattering command, but that I was totally at a loss how to take my show to any of the great residences occupied by Her Majesty.
Finally, after many cautious inquiries, I discovered that she would be willing to visit the show if a special box was prepared for her.

This we did to the best of our ability.
