3. Maigret s’imprègne d’une atmosphère
« Il reniflait, observait tout autour de lui, les mains toujours dans les poches, le chapeau un peu en arrière […] Maigret […] tripota machinalement la clef du poêle qui ne tirait pas […] Maigret essayait toujours de préciser la sensation qu’il avait eu en entrant dans le bureau […] Maintenant, il avait chaud et, le chapeau toujours sur la nuque, la pipe aux dents, il gagna l’antichambre comme un homme qui ne sait que faire. » (La Fenêtre ouverte)


3. Maigret s’impregna di un’atmosfera
“Annusava, osservava intorno a lui, le mani sempre in tasca, il cappello un po’ indietro […] Maigret […] giocherella macchinalmente con la chiave della stufa che non tirava […] Maigret cercava ancora di chiarire l’impresssione che aveva avuto entrando in ufficio […] Adesso aveva caldo e, il cappello sempre sulla nuca, la pipa tra i denti, si recò in anticamera come un uomo che non sa cosa fare. » (La finestra aperta)


3. Maigret immerses himself in an atmosphere
“He was sniffing, watching all around him, his hands still in his pockets, his hat slightly back […]. Maigret […] mechanically fiddled with the key of the stove that was not firing […] Maigret was still trying to clarify the sensation he had felt while entering the office […] Now he was warm and, his hat still back, his pipe in his mouth, he went into the antechamber like a man who doesn’t know what to do.” (The Open Window)
