Some of the reasons why I enjoy reading Edgar Wallace.
"…at that moment he wore the facial expression peculuar to managing editors at midnight — which may be likened to that of a man who has an engagement with the public executioner and is anxious to commit just another tiny little murder before he dies."
— from "The Caretaker In Charge," The Novel Magazine, August 1919
Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.
The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.
The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.
The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

More entertaining than most descriptions of ponderance.

I never actually read Wallace -maybe I should - but often saw his plays at local halls where one could be sure of a pistol crack or two.
Scarlet: quite so. (I had to look the word up here.)
Pat: Given that he died eighty years ago, I find his a surprisingly modern writing style.
Not ponderosa?
Steven: No, we'll come to that later.
I've not ready any of Wallace's work up to now but I feel an urge to now. Thanks for the tip off.
Happy Frog: Please do, if you can find them, they're fun.
