"Thank you," Protego said. It took some finagling--and at least one more "bite" from the spider--before he was able to coax the thing into the box and get it contained.

Straightening up, he did a little bow to shop employees, saying, "Thank you for all of your help. I'll get this back to my shop, then." And hopefully find something heavy to put on top of the box to keep it from escaping again until Protego could work out all the issues--at least enough to get it good enough to get it out of his hair!
