Excerpt from Spiders and Rice Pudding
How shall I explain it all to you? I have dipped my pen in the ink-bottle six times, and as often carried it to the sheet of foolscap which lies before me, patiently waiting for the proper words to drop from my pen, but they won't - so I may as well tell you that a few days ago, when I was look ing for a roll of pieces to mend my blue cashmere, in the room over the dining-room, I found the cashmere in the wardrobe, and also a spider. It was not an ordinary little spider, but an extraordinary large one.
I could not step on him, although I would willingly see any one else do so. Suppose I throw a book at him - no.
