The rightful pill and the cork ball are placed together on the floor of the jar.

Will the Spider be able to know the one that belongs to her?
The fool is incapable of doing so.

She makes a wild rush and seizes haphazard at one time her property, at another my sham product.
Whatever is first touched becomes a good capture and is forthwith hung up.
If I increase the number of cork balls, if I put in four or five of them, with the real pill among them, it is seldom that the Lycosa recovers her own property.

Attempts at inquiry, attempts at selection there are none.

Whatever she snaps up at random she sticks to, be it good or bad.
