Bab 50: 50 Mouse in the Trap (AVOT)

In a frenzy of desperation, Daisy found herself climbing the grand staircase. Anywhere would do; she simply needed to get away.

Instinct propelled her to spin on her heels and sprint in the opposite direction. She found another staircase leading downward, and, though she felt like she was running in circles, the diversion might just be what she needed.
