Line 8:
The Spider's love interest and primary sidekick was Nita Van Sloane, his fiancee. While not quite up to modern [[Action Girl]] standards, Nita was no shrinking violet, but a dead shot, and quite capable of impersonating the Spider in times of need.
 
Wentworth's bodyguard was Ram Singh, a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]] (initially Hindu, later Sikh) who served the Spider out of personal admiration. Also helping the Spider were his chauffeur Ronald Jackson (who'd served under him in [[World War OneI]]), his butler Harold Jenkyns, and Professor Ezra Brownlee, who early on supplied the Spider with many of his gadgets and scientific knowledge.
 
Police Commissioner Stanley Kirkpatrick was one of Wentworth's closest friends, but also extremely dangerous to him. For if Kirkpatrick ever had definite proof that Wentworth was in fact the Spider, he would have to arrest the man for the many cold-blooded murders he'd committed.
Line 17:
