P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 571
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
“Yes, your Royal Highness, all of them,” replied the confused Greenwood, and as “all of them” included very fair figures of the Emperors Nicholas and Napoleon, the Empress Eugenie, and other equally distinguished personages, the Prince must have thought that the Museum had contained, in times past, some famous “living curiosities.” On leaving the Museum, the Prince asked to see Mr. Barnum, and when he was told that I was out of town, he remarked: “We have missed the most interesting feature of the establishment.” A few days afterwards, when the Prince was in Boston, happening to be in that city, I sent my card to him at the Revere House, and was cordially received. He smiled when I reminded him that I had seen him when he was a little boy, on the occasion of one of my visits to Buckingham Palace with General Tom Thumb. The Prince told me that he was much pleased with his recent inspection of my Museum, and that he and his suite had left their autographs in the establishment, as mementos of their visit.

白话
“是的，殿下，他们都是，”困惑的格林伍德回答道。由于“他们”包括尼古拉和拿破仑皇帝、欧仁妮皇后以及其他同样显赫人物的逼真雕像，亲王一定以为博物馆过去曾有过一些著名的“活人奇观”。离开博物馆时，亲王要求见巴纳姆先生，当被告知巴纳姆不在城里时，他说：“我们错过了这个机构最有趣的部分。”几天后，亲王在波士顿时，巴纳姆正好也在那里，便派人送名片到里维尔酒店，受到热情接待。当巴纳姆提醒亲王，他小时候曾随拇指将军访问白金汉宫时见过他，亲王笑了。亲王告诉巴纳姆，他对最近参观博物馆非常满意，他和随从在博物馆留下了签名作为纪念。
上下文
这段是亲王参观博物馆的后续，巴纳姆与亲王在波士顿会面，亲王对博物馆给予高度评价。
