In my childhood, the three unmentionable subjects were the traditional ones: religion, politics, and sex.

Noch vor einer halben Minute hatte Jasper es selbst gesagt: Nicht einmal, als sie die unsterblichen Kinder jagten … Die unsterblichen Kinder – der unaussprechliche Fluch, das schreckliche Tabu …

Später sollte dieses Thema für Maigret tabu sein: Nie sprach er von diesem Tage, besonders nicht von dem Vormittag, und bestimmt tat er alles, um die Erinnerung daran aus seinem Gedächtnis zu verscheuchen. Das Peinlichste war, daß er nicht mehr Maigret war, denn was stellte er im Grunde in St. Aubin dar? Nichts!
Maigret was to consider this undignified episode as unmentionable. He never spoke of what happened that day, and particularly that morning, and no doubt he would have preferred to forget all about it.
