Dear Mr McAuley
My previous attempt at mailing this seems to have
become corrupted. I hope that this time it arrives in
one piece!
The quotation that you were asking about comes from
Kipling's book "Puck of Pook's Hill", and is in the
story "On the Great Wall" in which the Centurion
Parnesius tells Dan and Una about Hadrian's Wall and
the Picts.
If you have a copy of MacMillan's library edition, you
will find at the foot of page 176.
Unfortunately I can't help in identifying Moir.
Yours sincerely
David Page, Harrow
