Well, more to the point, Kaitlyn and Juri aren't that fast-paced. :)

(And, really, who can blame either one of them? Yeesh.)

>Are the police officers from anything, or are they original?

They're original, but a couple of the Brasserie Dauphine's regulars are inspired by supporting characters from George Simenon's Maigret novels. Two of Superintendent Maigret's subordinates, Inspector Janvier and Sergeant Lucas, have descendents in those scenes; Janvier's great-x-grandson runs the brasserie, and Lucas's is following the family tradition and working at the Quai des Orfèvres. (The brasserie itself is a kind of character in the Maigret novels, come to that. :)
