The tetaires sound made up. Even if we accept that such a person was needed, why men, not women? I've angled for fish. We used earthworms that we dug up ourselves. I would never touch a maggot.

They may sound made-up but the French census listed that occupation for various people, so...
-
Tetaires? According to whom?
-
Who do you think...? Robb, the author of the book screenshotted, obviously. And as I just said, he ascribes this occupational information to the French census.
