"And I sez to Josiah, 'It is no wonder that the Infanty got so tired of them performances that she had to set down and rest. "It tired America so a-seein' 'em a-pilotin' the party that she would have been glad to have sot down and rested.
"He tires America dretful, Ward duz, and I spoze like as not he'd be still more tuckerin' to Spain, not bein' used to him, and then, too, she's smaller, Spain is, and mebby can't stand so much countin' and actin'. So, as I said to Josiah, 'The Infanty is a-havin' a hard time on't with the Ward McAllisters of society; for, sez I, 'Though she has set 'em a pattern of simple courtesy and good manners every time she's had a chance, I knew them four hundred well enough to know that it wouldn't be took. I knew that the American Republic, as showed out by Ward McAllister and his 'postles, wouldn't be contented to use the simple, quiet courtesy of a Royal Princess.
'Law, pa, it's no use! I ain't a-goin' to set on that tottlin' thing one minit longer not for all the infanties in Ameriky! What more's a furrin infanty than a home-born one, anyhow? There was a stir next the rope and a break in the wall of humanity about it, and then Mrs.
At the same time the regent was commanded to hold in readiness a few more regiments of German infanty in Luxembourg, under the command of the Counts Eberstein, Schaumburg, and Lodrona, and also some squadrons of light cavalry in the Duchy of Burgundy to reinforce the Spanish general immediately on his entrance into the provinces.
And so we shook hands cordial, and said good-bye, and I proceeded to withdraw myself, and I wuz jest a-backin' off, as I make a practice of doin' in my interviews with Royalty, when Duty gin me a sharp hunch in my left side, and I had to lock arms with her, and approach the Infanty agin on a delicate subject. I hated to, but I had to.
"I sez to him, sez I, 'There are times when it is greater kindness to kinder slight anybody than it is to make on 'em. And I told Josiah that though I would be tickled enough to have you come and stay a week right along, and though, as I sez to him, "'The Infanty may feel real hurt to not have me pay no attention to her, still I felt that I had Right on my side.
The Infanty looked real pleasant here she almost laughed, she looked so amiable at me; she realized well that she wuz a-meetin' one of the first wimmen of the nation, and that woman wuz a-doin' well by her. "But, as I say, Ulaley, I knew that it wuz too hard for you.
The rest of our party wuz some little distance off and I wuz santerin' along charmed with the beauty about me when who should I meet face to face but Ulaly. Yes, it wuz Ulaly Infanty. I wuz highly tickled, for I considered her a likely young woman and sot store by her when I met her to home at the World's Fair.
If not the 'infanty, they have seen one as fair and as gracious, the first lady of the White City, the able and beloved president of the Woman's Board. When she has passed within I replace my uplifted hat and seek an egress through the crowd, past the restive four-in-hand and down the street which leads to Wooded Island, in pursuit of the little brunette, who had vanished in that direction.
As it approached nearer I see a pretty girlish face a-lookin' out of the side from the curtains that wuz drawed away, a sweet face with a smile on it. And I sez to myself, "There is a good, wholesome-lookin' girl, who don't care for the rain no more than I do," when I heard a man behind me say in a awe-strucken voice, "That is the Princess! that is the Infanty!"
