Hermes Standing Upon The Back Of Typhon by Augustus Knapp - In one hand Hermes carries the Caduceus, a winged rod with two fighting serpents entwined about it; in the other, the immortal Emerald, upon whose surface was inscribed in raised letters the sum of philosophy. Upon the forehead of Hermes appears the uraeus, the secret symbol of the constellation of Scorpio, which represents the regeneration of the same power that in the form of a dragon lies helpless under his foot. The scarab over the heart of Hermes represents the presence of the spiritual and regenerative light within his own soul; the collar typifies by its circles the orbits of the heavenly bodies. The three points of the tail of Typhon which end in arrows indicate the three destructive expressions of universal energy--mental, moral, and physical perversion.

"She is my sister - you don't understand. And yes, I would steal the papers back, if I could. In a minute."

"All right, all right - let me go shave and then we'll call the travel agent, agreed? "

"There's no need," Miss O laughed, preparing to put fingers to keyboard in a reply to her wronged friend. "I have a cunning plan, you'll see - be ready to go on a Cyber-Safari, because you and me and gods know who else are goin' huntin' for big cats! Hell, I may even call on my old friend, Lone Star, International Secret Agent of Mystery, to help implement my scheme, who knows?"

"I won't even ask," Duke chuckled shaking his head as he made for the salle de bain and his razor.
