The convenience of the Envoy and of the members of the Mission was not, however, the only thing which had to be taken into account, for the forms of Moorish etiquette on such occasions are stringent, and much correspondence and many couriers had to pass between Tangier and Fez from the time when the subject was first mooted until the final receipt of the Sultan's permission for Sir John Hay to present himself, with his suite, at the Sharifian Court.'' -- Chapter 1 (p. 1).
