La pipe de Maigret by Georges Simenon
II etait sept heures et demie. Dans le bureau du chef, avec un soupir d'aise et de fatigue a la fois, un soupir de gros homme a la fin d'une chaude journee de juillet, Maigret avait machinalement tire sa montre de son gousset. Puis il avait tendu la main, ramasse ses dossiers sur le bureau d'acajou. La porte matelassee s'etait refermee derriere lui et il avait traverse l'antichambre. Personne sur les fauteuils rouges. Le vieux garcon de bureau etait dans sa cage vitree. Le couloir de la Police judiciaire etait vide, une longue perspective a la fois grise et ensoleillee.
Georges Simenon (1903 1989) was born in Liege, Belgium. He started working as a reporter at the age of fifteen and by the end of his life had published hundreds of novels under his own name and sundry pseudonyms. Renowned all over the world for his series of mysteries featuring Inspector Maigret, Simenon was also the author of many psychological novels. The Engagement is one of eight novels by Simenon published by NYRB Classics.
