god of thieves

"In the fourth year of the war, Hermes showed up.  He was not much to look at.  His mailman's coat was in tatters; mice ran in and out of its pockets.  The broad-brimmed hat he was wearing had bullet holes.  He still carried the famous stick that closes the eyes of the dying, but it looked gnawed.  Did he let the dying bite on it?  Whatever the case, he had no letters for us.  "God of thieves!" we shouted behind his back when he could no longer hear us."
