A carnival attraction arrives in town, featuring the Spider-Girl, a girl who was turned into a spider by brimstone from heaven after sneaking out of her house for a dance against her parents' order. The carnival charges less than to see the old man, and the Spider-Girl responds from questioning from the crowd. This spectacle, full of 'human truth and with such a fearful lesson' draws the people away from the 'haughty' angel.
