It was half-past seven. In the chief's office, with a sigh of ease and fatigue at the same time, a sigh of fat man at the end of a hot July day, Maigret had mechanically pulled his watch out of his pocket.

The old desk boy was in his glass cage. The corridor of the judicial police was empty, a long perspective both gray and sunny.
