Avis sees Margaret writing in her journal in a pub, and winces a little bit when it sees what she wrote, thinking of its own experience. "Not advisable to tell the truth to spiders, either. I'd try to avoid speaking to them altogether when possible." It tips its hat in apology for interrupting (and reading a lady's journal), and disappears to the other side of the crowd.
Margaret had been concentrating on what else to write, so she didn't notice that someone was nearby until it started to talk. A familiar voice, giving her sound advice. "Thank you," she said in a tired way. She was puzzled when her acquaintance tipped its hat, but she was not quick enough to say anything else before it disappeared in the crowd. 'Oh well,' she thought, 'there's no telling what business it may have.'
She set down her pen. Words will come when she can think clearer.
