Wow ... these "three girls" do get around ... both in space and over time ... movie rights! ... eat your heart out Cecile B. DeMille ... and a cast of thousands too.
I'm worried about the Roman on a horse. He doesn't seem to see the three girls, or even quite understand where he is.

He is listening to directions from the movie director, who is saying, "No, No, turn around and face the girls, you fool! Cut! Cut!"
Wonder which one of us, those guys are fighting over? Does the winner get to do something to Messa, Siss, or me ... and what is it they are fighting for the privilege of doing? I think the crowd in the arena knows more than we do, girls!

May, 15th 1876.
Washington D.C., the White House, the Oval Office.
President Ulysses S. Grant held two telegrams in his hands.
One was from Fort Lincoln, North Dakota. It made mention of a certain Sir Wragg, a subject of Her Majesty Queen Victoria of England. The man was said to be captured by Sioux and Comanche Indians, together with a few ladies. It was feared their lives were in danger.
A foreigner! Why would Grant bother? Why risking the lives of cavalry men to rescue some... greenhorn, probably some impoverished nobleman out for gold in the Black Hills. A tenderfoot, no doubt, who had lured himself into the hands of indians, together with some ladies he probably had tried to impress by the pretentions of a futile noble title.
Not worth to spend a single bullet. Bad luck, Sir Wragg!
But, on the other hand,... The other cable message had come from the Transatlantic, from London. A great invention! It was a request to arrest and extradite an Englishman, for lèse-majesté. Apparently the man had insulted Queen Victoria somehow.
Grant was not impressed. Kings and queens were something from the Old World. Sometimes, no, often, they made a ridicule of themselves, by sticking to old fashioned pomp and circumstance. Why bother about some subject of that old fashioned bat Victoria for telling a joke of her. But there were two intriguing things about the cable from London.
First of all, it was signed by a certain Margaret Thatcher. A woman, who pretended to be the English PM. Strange! According to the Department of the State, the PM of England was a certain Benjamin Disraeli. Grant had pity with the English if that Mrs. Thatcher would be in charge. Imagine : the head of state is the woman, the PM is woman! That cannot end up good! Probably, that cable from the transatlantic was a joke. A good joke! But strange enough, the name of the subject the request for arrest and extradition applied to, was a certain Sir Wragg. The same from Fort Lincoln?
Grant considered.
He had nothing to lose! It was the last year of his term, and he had already announced months ago not to go for another one!
Suddenly he saw an opportunity.
Custer! Wasn't he at Fort Lincoln?
Custer, that smuggy intriguer!
Custer! He would go after that Sir Wragg!
Straight into the most dangerous indian territory.
Custer would not hesitate! Grant knew he was eager for a victory. Grant knew why! Custer was eager to take his place! Custer was eager to fight the indian wars...from the Oval Office.
Grant knew he risked to sacrifice a few fine cavalry squadrons by sending them into harms way. But that is how he Unconditional Surrender Grant had won the Civil War after all!? Victory has its price!
If Custer will succeed, then it will be President Grant's victory. A final highlight of a term troubled by scandals and economic crisis!
If Custer fails, then it will be Custer's failure!
A telegram to Fort Lincoln was made up.
"General Custer will go after Sir Wragg!"
