Project Gutenberg 2006-03-28 Public domain in the USA. 91 Gaboriau, Emile 1832 1873 Gaboriau, Émile Secret des Champdoce. English The Champdoce Mystery Sequel to: Caught in the Net, #2451. Produced by Dagny; Emma Dudding; John Bickers; David Widger "The Champdoce Mystery" by Emile Gaboriau is a novel written in the late 19th century and serves as a sequel to "Caught in the Net." The story revolves around the complex life of Louis Norbert de Champdoce, the son of the eccentric and miserly Duke de Champdoce. As Norbert struggles with the oppressive nature of his father's ambitions and their impact on his own desires, he becomes embroiled in a world of love, societal expectations, and class dynamics. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the setting and characters, beginning with a journey from Poitiers to the Duke's estate. We meet the Duke, a character with a troubled past who believes that living like a peasant will restore his family's former glory. His approach to raising Norbert has led to an upbringing steeped in labor and duty, leaving the young man naive to the outside world. The narrative builds as Norbert visits Poitiers for the first time, where his encounter with old friends and new faces catalyzes a shift in his worldview, especially upon meeting Diana de Laurebourg. This initial meeting sparks a love that complicates their fates against the backdrop of their families' socioeconomic standings and the Duke's controlling ambitions, setting the stage for the drama that will unfold.
