There is one phrase, "It was suddenly apparently stopped in a black coat and trowsers of tow-cloth. a round-crowned fragment of a hat, such as the protection of Mercury and mounted on the back of a colt rags, wild, half-broken, who led off with a rope halter. " What does the author refers to when he speaks of "protection of Mercury? "What alludes? - Thank you =)
