In Alsace,                Madame Maigret was with her family and helped with making jam and plum brandy. The                thought of staying in a hotel by the seaside with a lot of other people from Paris                filled her with dread.\u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003e‘What would I do all                day?’\u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eIn the end, she packed her sewing and                her crocheting.\u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003e‘Just don’t expect me to go                swimming!

Acetylene lamps hung from the rigging, and in their raw light a number of figures                were busily unloading cod, which they passed                from hand to hand and piled into the trucks after the fish had been weighed.\u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eThere were ten of them at work, men and                women, dirty, their clothes torn and stiff with salt. By the weighing scales stood a                well-turned-out young man, with a boater over one ear and a notebook in his hand, in                which he recorded the weighed catch.\u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eA rank, stomach-churning smell, which                distance did nothing to lessen, seeped into the bar, where the heat made it even                more oppressive.\u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eMaigret sat down in a free corner, on                the bench seat.
