Odd Spider

By D Bennett Cooke

Madame Eliza Canturelle of number 17 Mango Avenue, London SW7 has thought about it -carefully- and she's come to a fine conclusion, and it is this: anything - anything at all- with more than two legs that creeps and crawls is no friend of hers. The Spider especially is as far off a friend to Madame Canturelle as porridge is to sardine. They just don't mix! Simple. And so, Madame Canturelle takes precautions, essential defence mechanisms to keep out any eight-legged spooky spiders.The Instant Spider Spritzer spray, "buzz and the crawly is a mummy; spritz and the spider splits!" And then Madame Canturelle's dutiful yet pernickety housekeeper Maimai - Madame Canturelle had selected her carefully after a trying episode of interviews to find the perfect housekeeper - someone who would be a spider-warrior. Until one day Maimai appeared before Madame Canturelle terror filled looking like a ghost. Faint and fuzzy and white as a sheet. A great misfortune had fallen upon them. A gargantuan spider with legs as long as straw and as thick as bamboo, with prickly hairy bits on them was splayed mockingly upon Madame Canturelle's wall. Its abdomen huge and pulsating...The spider had arrived in all its might!
