The Spider's Banquet, one of the first works to establish the reputation of Roussel, was produced in Paris-in 1913. The scene of the ballet is a garden where a spider is sitting in her web watching for her prey. Some ants arrive on the scene and discover a fallen rose petal, which they carry away. Then a butterfly appears, and flutters about in the sunshine, but before long the spider invites the butterfly to come nearer to her web. Suddenly she finds herself entangled in its meshes and, after a struggle, the spider pounces on the butterfly and devours her. Next, a mayfly is hatched out, and after flying about for a while, soon suffers the same fate as the butterfly. The ants come back, and bury the mayfly, while a funeral march is played. At the end, night falls on the now deserted garden. Harold Rutland

At the Casa Riego John Kemp finds that Don Carlos Riego is dying. He learns how O'Brien, who has been made Judge of the Supreme Court in Havana, uses the Rio Medio pirates to further his own ends. From Seraphina, John hears that many of the great household act as spies for O'Brien, whose shadow, owing to his influence with the aged Don Balthasar, lies heavy and threatening over the Riegos. Kemp's betrothal to Seraphina is solemnised at the bedside of Carlos and he swears his undying loyalty. O'Brien, returning from Havana, is defied by Kemp; late at night O'Brien visits Kemp in his room at the Casa Riego.
