About this book
Caught in the Net is by Émile Gaboriau, and its first chapter is headed Putting on the Screw. The cold on the 8th of February, 186-, is said to be more intense than the Parisians had experienced during the whole of the severe winter, and Chevalier's thermometer registered three degrees below zero.
A man called Daddy Tantaine says he is employed by a sheriff's officer, does a little bill collecting for various persons, and can lend five hundred francs for a short time without any inconvenience to himself. Paul, whose necessities and conscience are fighting a hard battle, says that the offer is one he cannot accept, and Rose interrupts to say that this is no time to talk of feelings. A man with little gray eyes that twinkle incessantly is described as a widower whose love was all concentrated on his daughter.
