_M&D_'s Stig, of course, comes from "pret-ty far North" (602.32), has
travelled down out of "[t]he Frost eternal, the Whiteness abounding, beneath
that all-night Sun", and, the first thing he and his countrymen learn "is to
*impersonate Swedes*."

I don't think he's from Kansas, Toto. Or a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

"Hold," cries Captain Shelby, " ... Come, Stig, admit it,-- you're not
Swedish at all.

"Stig (unattributed): "Sir,-- 'tis for you to work out ... " (612-3)

Sure sounds like a Laplander to me.
