Crossword-Solution: SALTIRES 8 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 8

She got an old heraldry book; and a surprising old maiden lady from Winton, learned in politeness and genealogies, from whom she learned the court etiquette (as the old Winton lady had known it in Queen Anne's time); and ere long she jabbered gules and sables, bends and saltires, not with correctness always, but with a wonderful volubility and perseverance.

The process that had been adopted before was again brought into action, but now a single compound device had to be formed by the combination of a cross and two saltires, Nos.

Thus both the Irish and Scottish saltires can be easily distinguished from one another, whilst the red saltire has its due white fimbriation.

George's cross remained as it was, but the saltires of Scotland and Ireland were placed side by side, but "counterchanged"--that is, in the first and third divisions or quarters, the white, as senior, is uppermost, and in the second and fourth the red is uppermost.

Thus also the engrailed or indented saltires, pales or cheverons, the exact number of the fusils which go to the making of these being unconsidered.
