Thanks, Saucepan Man.

So it seems that a British boy from 1900 would have no particular reason to think ill of France or the U.S. to the degree that he would disfavor the eagle. And, thereby, he would not refrain from useing eagles in a heroic fashion in his later writings due to that reason.

It must have had something to do with a favorite football (soccer) team then?
