Adam Badeau, Grant in peace: from Appomattox to Mount McGregor, a personal memoir, Chapter 31: (search)
Chapter 31: Grant and the Prince of Wales. General Grant arrived in London at the time of the Epsom races, and the Prince of Wales at once offered him a car in his train for the Oaks, the second of the great events of the week; the Derby had already been run. The invitation was accepted, and the General and the Minister and one or two others went down in the Prince's train. A special box had been provided, and after the General's arrival it was proposed that he should be presented to tt within three or four of the Comptroller of the Household, who was at the extreme foot; the Prince and Princess were at the middle with the Emperor and Empress. The Duke of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, the Earl and Countess of Derby, the Earl of Dudley, were all placed higher than General Grant. When the ladies left the table every one rose, of course, and the Empress and Princess passed out, while Mrs. Grant was left to find her way like any other person of insignificance.
