[655.18-20] "In Europe," speculated Philippe, "the mountains are much older
than in America. Whatever lies in them has more time to evolve toward a more
lethal, perhaps less aimiable, sort of creature."
Cf. the two Ns' take on 'old' and 'new' worlds. On 186:
By nightfall they were among old Anasazi ruins up west of Dolores Valley
someplace.
"Like a Red Indian Stonehenge!"
Only different!"
And on 219:
"Home at last!" cried Neville, "home from innocent, all but oppressively
wholesome America!"
"Back to the delights of Evil!" Nigel added, with every appearance of
relief.
