This line refers to the following dialogue:

"For shame! You would never go and set a snare like that for your readers; you are not a spider!"

When confronted by Petra, Hovstad defends his actions. The above dialogue is then uttered by Petra in an effort to convince Hovstad not to fool his readers.
