Summary "La clique dorée" by Émile Gaboriau is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around the lives of various tenants in a Parisian building, primarily focusing on the perplexing circumstances surrounding a young woman named Mlle Henriette, who experiences desperate hardships, leading to a drastic action involving her life. As the narrative unfolds, it intertwines themes of poverty, societal expectations, and hidden intrigues. The opening of the novel introduces the setting: a well-kept yet notorious building at 23 Rue Grange-Batelière, where rumors and suspicions linger among the tenants. The concierges, Mr. and Mrs. Chevassat, are particularly scrutinized for their possible involvement in unsavory activities. As the evening unfolds, a commotion arises when one of the tenants, the brocanteur Mr. Ravinet, expresses concern over hearing distressing sounds from Mlle Henriette's apartment. The story quickly escalates as tenants gather, and their fears are realized when they discover Mlle Henriette in peril, leading to a cascade of revelations about her life and the people around her.
