[1955-COR] The traditional monthly visits with the Pardons still continued, so on the previous Friday M and Mme M had made their way to the Rue Picpus. [1955-TEN] One evening M had gone to see his friend Pardon, the doctor in the Rue Picpus, at whose house they dined regularly once a month.

Although M and Pardon had met late in life, they had always been able to understand each other's half spoken utterances. [1959-CON] M had discussed it with his friend Pardon, the local doctor with whom he and his wife had got into the habit of dining once a month. Once when his office had been full all day, Pardon had displayed a touch of discouragement, almost of bitterness. "28 patients in the afternoon alone!" [1959-ASS] That evening, the Pardons, instead of asking them to their flat, as usual, had taken them to a little restaurant on the Boulevard du Montparnasse. [1960-VIE] Only to his old friend Dr. Pardon, who lived in the Rue Popincourt, did he sometimes mutter something that might be considered confidential. [1961-PAR] Mme M said that Francine Pardon had called. They come back from Italy on Monday. It was the first vacation the Pardons had taken by themselves in over 20 years. They had gone by car, intending to visit Florence, Rome and Naples, and to come back via Venice and Milan, stopping wherever they pleased. They'd invited the Maigrets to dinner next Wednesday. Traditionally it should have been on the first Wednesday of the month. She'd said the trip was exhausting, almost as much traffic on the roads as on the Champs-Élysées. Their daughter was fine, the baby gorgeous... She'd married the year before and had a baby a few months old. They'd decided to buy a small house, by the sea or in the country.... M thought the relationship between the René Josselin's and Dr. Larue were like the Maigrets and the Pardons. He wondered if they too had a set day. [1961-BRA] M and Mme talked about Doctor Pardon's daughter, who was expecting her second child. [1962-CLI] He'd suddenly felt an urge to go to the Brasserie Dauphine, and in spite of the advice of his friend Pardon, the Rue Picpus doctor, at whose home he and Mme M had dined the previous week, to treat himself to an apéritif.... Pardon had recommended him to watch his liver. [1962-COL] It was in the Rue Popincourt, several hundred yards from the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, at the Pardon's house, where M had for years been dining once a month. The doctor and his wife dined at the M's once a month too. Pardon offered M a cigar. M had only seen him smoke cigarettes. He was neither tall nor fat. His dark hair was turning gray and his face was lined. He was 49. He had last examined M about a year earlier.... Solange, Pardon's daughter,pregnant for the second time, was staying with her parents whileher husband, an engineer in the eastern district, was at acongress in Nice. Her first-born, a boy, was asleep in hiscrib. [1964-DEF] M had often discussed with Dr. Pardon that people are basically afraid. [1965-PAT] Pardon called M at 1:30 am. They'd left a little after 11:00, after their monthly dinner which had been a tasty shoulder of mutton. They'd been dining together once a month for almost ten years, and yet the men never thought of being on Christian name terms. At dinner they'd talked about his daughter and son-in-law, and the cruise they were going to make to the Balearic Islands next summer. It was Jan 14, and it had been 12 degrees below zero all day.... In the elevator M had noticed that Pardon's face was strained.... Pardon's maid came with the report that he had typed up. For her he was the guest who came to dinner every month. [1966-NAH] M would have been interested in hearing Dr. Pardon's impression of François Ricain.... Alone again, M thought of phoning Dr. Pardon. He was no psychiatrist, nor a professional psychologist, but often his advice had reinforced M in his opinions.... Their monthly dinner was not due till the following week.
