"Inside the Lines" by Earl Derr Biggers and Robert Welles Ritchie is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book tells the story of Jane Gerson, a young American buyer for a New York department store, who finds herself caught in the midst of rising tensions in Europe just before the outbreak of World War I. As she navigates her way through Paris, she becomes entwined with Captain Woodhouse, a British army officer, and other characters who are deeply involved in espionage and the brewing conflict. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Jane Gerson as she arrives in France, determined to recover a lost trunk and fulfill her duties as a foreign buyer. The chaotic scene at the customs shortly leads her to Captain Woodhouse, who assists her, revealing a deep sense of duty and concern for her safety amid the political unrest. Their conversation broaches the topic of potential war in Europe, contrasting Jane’s optimistic views with Captain Woodhouse’s grave apprehensions. This initial meeting foreshadows their complex relationship as they both confront the implications of war while striving to achieve their personal goals, setting the stage for a narrative rich with both adventure and romance in a historic context.
