The Government turned first to France. Mr Fielding and Mr Brodeur, associated with the British ambassador at Paris, negotiated a treaty, giving France the intermediate and in some cases still lower rates, and receiving advantages in return. The treaty, though made in 1907, was not ratified until 1910.
The Arms of the Company are also emblazoned. French embroiderers are known by name in many instances; in 1299 allusion was made to "Clement le Brodeur," who furnished a cope for the Count of Artois, and in 1316 a magnificent set of hangings was made for the Queen, by one Gautier de Poulleigny. Nicolas Waquier was armourer and embroiderer to King John in 1352.
Similar reciprocal arrangements were concluded in 1910 with Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy. The manner of the negotiation was as significant as the matter. In the case of France the treaty was negotiated in Paris by two Canadian ministers, W.S. Fielding and L.P. Brodeur, appointed plenipotentiaries of His Majesty for that purpose, with the British Ambassador associated in what Mr.
The Master nodded at Brodeur. The droning of the apparatus ceased, and again the hand became visible. "Faith!" the major's voice was heard. "We've landed half a dozen home runs, and they've never even got to second!" "Come, O Bara Miyan!" the Master smiled. "Now we will put away the things of magic, and talk the words of men. Here is my salt!"
"And wilt thou make further trial with me?" demanded the Master. "No, by the Prophet! It is enough!" The Master's soul warmed toward the honesty of this bluff old Arab. "Thy magic is good magic. Give me thy salt, Frank, and take mine!" The Master signaled to Brodeur as he drew forth his bag of salt.
"She's wonderful," said he, as Brodeur settled himself at the wheel. "With her almost unlimited power, her impeccable controls and her automatic stabilizers, I hardly see what could happen to her." "Fire, of course, m'sieur," the ace replied, "always has to be guarded against." "Hardly on an all-metal liner. Now, here you see and here "
From his paralyzed hand the simitar fell to the grass. Brodeur threw off the ray; and the Master, unsmiling, stooped, picked up the blade and with a salaam handed it back, hilt-first, to the old man. Only with his left hand could Bara Miyan accept it. He spoke no word, neither did any murmur run through the massed horsemen.
He turned to Brodeur, and in French warned him: "Remember the signals, now. One mistake on your part may cost my life more than that, the lives of all the Legion. Remember!" "Count on me, my Captain!" affirmed Brodeur. The masked woman, coming to the Master's side, said also in French: "I have one favor to ask of you!" "Well, what?" "Your life is worth everything, now. Mine, nothing.
The old man turned, took from the hand of a horseman a long, curved blade of razor-keenness and with a heavy back. The Master glanced significantly at Brodeur, who knelt by the switchboard with one steady hand on a brass lever, the other on the control of a complex ray-focussing device. Toward Bara Miyan the Master advanced across the turf. He came close.
The arrival of Simonds, with the spare window-pane, and of Brodeur one of the boldest flyers out of Saloniki in the last months of the war broke in upon the Master's reveries. Only a few minutes were required to mend the window. During this time, the Master explained some unusual features of control to the Frenchman, then let him take charge of Nissr.
