'It smelled of holidays. The previous evening, in Cannes harbour, with the setting sun, had also had that smell of holidays, especially the Ardena, whose owner swaggered in front of two girls with gorgeous figures. Maigret was dressed in black, as was his wont in Paris. He had his bowler hat with him, which didn't belong here'
