Hi Bryn.

I am surprised how many don't get the cat metaphor.

You can't escape the meaning of the word you used. Huntsman (especially in a 'royal' context) would most likely refer to someone who 'who manages a hunt and looks after the hounds'. You present a solitary individual patrolling a castle, which would likely be a warden, nightwatchman or guardsman.

And, if not in such a context, then the spider is by far the most likely inference to be drawn.

The fault lies not with the reader    Ok.  Not trying to blame reader, just wan't sure how to fix it.  Apparently there is a huntsman spider in Australia. Who knew?

I felt like it kind of summed up everything.

It told me what I already knew, what the poem had described. My curiosity was in what the narrator would do next, the chores, or ... more coffee?

This is helpful.  Seems obvious now that you spelled it out for me.

I'll keep at it!

Good man!

Best, Knot
