Adam Badeau, Grant in peace: from Appomattox to Mount McGregor, a personal memoir, Chapter 31: (search)
s lordship was giving a dinner to the Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lorne, and had asked a few friends to come in afterward and meet Her Royal Highness and her noble husband. General Grant was not invited to the dinner but was asked to the reception afterward. We arrived before dinner was over, and were not received. A royal guest could not be left by the Lord Chamberlain because an ex-President was in the drawing-room; so General Grant waited till dinner was over, when Lord and Lady Hertford came out in attendance on Her Royal Highness. Then they welcomed their democratic guests and General Grant was presented to the Princess Louise. The Princess was gracious, and when Mrs. Grant expressed her regret at not having seen the Queen, she replied: But you will be sure to see her. Her Majesty will come to Windsor before you leave. The next of these ceremonies that I remember was a court ball. General Grant, like every one else, was expected to be present when royalty arrived.
