Nordics

To Turn The Tide, CHAPTER TWELVE.

We are about to set out on a long walk. However, before we depart:

"Wish I could show some of those noble-Nordic enthusiasts this, Artorius thought..." (p. 186)

- as he surveys corpses of women raped and men and animals blinded and crucified by barbarians, also burned buildings that had had people or animals in them.

Artorius' phrase about noble-Nordic enthusiasts seems familiar. Is it or something like it in Poul Anderson's Time Patrol? Blog readers can do some of the research?

Laterz.

Appendix, just before setting off: OK, folks. I have found the "'Noble Nordic' enthusiasts" in the Time Patrol in the first place I looked but I will leave the question with you all out there for a while longer.
