Die junge Cecile ist bekannt am Quai des Orfevres. Jeden Morgen wartet sie geduldig auf Kommissar Maigret und berichtet ihm von wunderlichen Dingen, die nachts in der Wohnung ihrer behinderten Tante geschehen. Stühle werden gerückt, Brieföffner wandern übers Shreibpult. Bei der Polizei lacht man über Cecile und zwinkert Maigret vielsagend zu. Als Ceciles Tante, eine reiche alte Dame, im Bett erwürgt wird, lacht niemand mehr. Und erst recht nicht, als am selben Tag eine zweite Leiche entdeckt wird - im Besenschrank des Polizeipräsidiums.

First Sentence

"From the moment he lit it, in the doorway of the apartment house on Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, Maigret savored his pipe with greater enjoyment than on other mornings."

Work Description

For six months Cécile had been pestering Chief Superintendent Maigret, pitching camp in the waiting room, endlessly patient, to report to him that the furniture in the apartment she shared with her aunt had mysteriously shifted position during the night. So much trouble for so self-effacing a woman to create! Clearly she was a spinster, and this was just the sort of fanciful notion spinsters cling to, to plague chief superintendents who have full case rosters. His colleagues teased him about his "girlfriend"; her unassuming stubbornness got on his nerves; her very lack of any style or attraction was an offense. It was understandable that he should put off seeing her as long as possible on one of the busiest days of his career....

It was an oversight he came to regret....
