Chief Medical Examiner's journal Friday, October 24: Maigret telephoned the pathologist. Alas, it was no longer his dear old friend Doctor Paul, whose greatest pleasure in life had been to take him out to dinner and regale him, throughout the meal, with a detailed account of his autopsies. Georges Simenon, writing in Maigret's Boyhood Friend, 1968.
