Maigret was in high spirits on a visit to Brussels. For fun he started to trail a down-at-heel man he had seen packeting up
thousand-franc notes and posting them as 'Printed Matter.' But the jaunt turned sour at Bremen, when the quarry took out a gun and
shot himself: and Maigret knew he was to blame. In the end it was in a crazy slum at Liege, Simenon's birthplace, that the inspector
heard a story so macabre, so sick, so sordid that it made remorse irrelevant.

"This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit of our own behaviour, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as if we were villains by necessity, fools by heavenly compulsion, knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance, drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on: an admirable evasion of whore-master man, to lay his goatish disposition to the charge of a star!"
Shakespeare, King Lear (Edmund) Act I, scene ii
