"The spider's web: She finds an innocuous corner in which to spin her web. The longer the web takes, the more fabulous its construction. She has no need to chase. She sits quietly, her patience a consummate force; she waits for her prey to come to her on their own, and then she ensnares them, injects them with venom, rendering them unable to escape. Spiders " so needed and yet so misunderstood."

"You're not interesting in the least," she spat. "I don't need to be," I smiled. "That's what you need...And you're welcome to it."
