4 Embroidery On The Stamp
A method of work that was popular in the 17th century. Figures of animals and other objects were outlined upon the ground fabrics, padded up with horsehair and wool and the raised pads covered with white or coloured silk. Above this and upon it was embroidered the most gorgeous stitching. At times the relief motifs were covered with fine lace or had jewels interwoven in the pattern.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Embroidery On The Stamp

5 he had his Indian up
(A calque from the Spanish se le subió el indio, meaning the same)He was angry or lost his temper. The DRAE confirms that subírsele a uno el indio is a figurative expression used in the Americas that means to lose one's temper. Among mestizos it could be interpreted as a racist expression because it implies that one allowed the allegedly uncivilized and uncontrollable Indian side to get the best of him. -

19 Légion étrangère, La
the French Foreign Legion. A vestige of the colonial era, the Foreign Legion was founded in 1831 as a unit for foreign nationals wanting to enlist in the French army. Originally it was based in Algeria, and its main function was (along with other regiments) to protect French colonies. After the Second World War, it is alleged that many ex-SS troopers signed up for the Legion, where discretion was assured, in order to escape from their past. The Legion had the reputation, in the past, of being a place where people on the run could create themselves a new identity.A legionnaire can apply for French nationality after three years' service, or less if he has been injured fighting for France.Today's legion is still mostly formed of foreign nationals, from many different countries, though the majority of officers are French. The Legion's headquarters are now in Aubagne, near Marseilles. The Legion is an active fighting unit in the French Army, and its regiments are regularly deployed on missions round the world.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.
