Written in the style of Notes and Queries, this article includes spoof letters from 'Spirit-Rapper' enquiring about a note in a copy of Lytton 1842, and Dominie Sampson, who wants to know whether women express a superstitious animosity towards spiders, which would explain his wife's habit of clearing away the webs of that 'industrious and indefatigable animal'. | |
