"Bett-Bett must have been a Princess, for she was a King's niece, and if that does not make a Princess of any one, it ought to do so! // She didn't sit - like fairy-book princesses - waving golden sceptres over devoted subjects, for she was just a little bush nigger girl or 'lubra,' about eight years old. She had, however, a very wonderful palace - the great lonely Australian bush." - the opening paragraphs. [Bibliographical reference: Muir 3111].
