Rhinoceros
“All the Frankenheims were long-lived but by then the head of the dynasty, Joseph, had no sons. Who was to take over, this highly successful, all-powerful and very secretive organization?
After so many generations history repeated itself. Joseph adopted a son, name and origin unrecorded, who proved later to be a mathematical genius like the founder, Salomon. When he was old enough to take control, still a young man, he followed the policies that had made the Frankenheims so rich.
Then, recently,... he obtained control of the Zurcher Kredit Bank and changed the name from Frankenheim. What had been for so long the Frankenheim Dynasty now became the Zurcher Kredit. The present head was only known to a few - as Rhinoceros.
'That was a lot for you to absorb,' Keith Kent commented and gratefully accepted another cup of coffee from Monica.
'Why "Rhinoceros"?' Tweed asked.
'Because one of the earlier Frankenheims liked going on safari in Africa. On one trip he shot a rhinoceros. The symbol of the Frankenheim banks then became the head of a rhinoceros, with an engraved plate of the animal outside every branch of the bank.' 'I don't understand this,' Tweed objected.MoreLess
