Fowler was a young writer. He wrote for a magazine. He had read in the books that secret agents are mysterious and smart. So he wanted to see all these things in Ausable, a secret agent. But Ausable was a fat man. It appeared that he was not fit for a secret agent’s job. So Fowler was disappointed after meeting Ausable.
But Ausable showed his presence of mind, when he saw armed Max in his room. He misled Max and told him that there was a balcony below the window. Max came there to take an important paper relating to missiles. After this, once again Ausable showed his intelligence, when Henry knocked at the door. He told Max that it might be police to protect him. They might shoot him at sight because he is armed. Without examining the truth of Ausable’s statement, Max jumped from the window to hide himself in the balcony. But it was the end of Max.
