The net is stretched first across the widest spot nearest to the pool, that no fish may escape. They swim up here in the daytime in shoals, perch especially; but the night poachers are often disappointed, for the fish seem to retire to deeper waters as the darkness comes on.
Man's prime is that period when the widest experience and the keenest perception meet. Millicent Chyne had lulled herself into a false security.
