I spent some time among the Danes, traveling around staying with families. They are among the most civilized people in the world. They eat 6 times a day (just like hobbits), and refuse to wear shoes inside the homes (again, just like hobbits). Every place I went, indoors or out, was absolutely immacculate. The girls were beautiful and everybody was friendly. It’s difficult to reconcile the reality of Danes with our popular conception of Vikings.
They’re descended from the ones who stayed home. ;’)
