She was a great beauty when she was young.

The year the Prince of Wales came to the Island she was visiting her uncle in Charlottetown and he was a Government official, and so she got invited to the great ball.

She was the prettiest girl there, and the Prince danced with her, and all the other women he didn't dance with were furious about it, because their social standing was higher than hers and they said he shouldn't have passed them over.

Elizabeth was always very proud of that dance.

Mean folks said that was why she never married--she couldn't put up with an ordinary man after dancing with a prince.
