·Annie Oakley: One of Leslie's favorites, "a plain, kindlylittle woman" who talked "with broad, clear gentleness" of thefarmlands where she had grown up. Annie lived as "one of the most retired,modest, commonplace sons of life—that is, when she wasn't hunting or settingtarget and trap records."

·Sarah Bernhardt: inclined "to filmy gowns, half lace,half vapory silk," which kept her "in a seductive shiver." Theclosest Bernhardt got to the wilds that Annie Oakley loved were the costly fursshe wore, "sometimes with hideous little heads snarling from the edges.

·Lillian Russell: a professional beauty, a stunning womancompared to Annie Oakley. For more than thirty years Russell starred in oneoperetta or musical show after another, bedizened always "as one of themost beautiful women in the world." While Leslie found Lillian, likeAnnie, "simple as a schoolgirl," Annie Oakley never would be"watched and petted" in the same way as Lillian Russell.

·Lillie Langtry: "rich, well-born, and of exquisiterefinement." Langtry loved roses and had hundreds of them sent over everyday from her famous rose nursery at Kentford. Annie Oakley never would be soextravagant.
