Question 1.
How is Ausable different from other secret agents ?
Answer:
Ausable was not an alert and smart secret agent as
Fowler had expected. He was very fat. He spoke
French and German with a slight American accent.
He used ordinary telephones to make calls. He lived
in a mediocre and dark French hotel. This way he did
not St the description of any secret agent.

Question 2.
Who is Fowler and what is his Srst authentic thrill of
the day ?
Answer:
Fowler is a writer. He wants to meet Ausable to cover
him up for writing for his publication. His Srst
authentic thrill of the day is quite clear. It is that he
outwitted Ausable in a simple way.

Question 3.
How has Max got in ?
Answer:
Max has used a passkey to enter Ausable’s room in
his absence. He wants to get a ‘report’ on some new
missiles.

Question 4.
How does Ausable say he got in ?
Answer:
Ausable says that Max got in his room through an
ordinary window. It was in the balcony. He would
complain against it (balcony) to the hotel authorities.
It needed to be closed.

Think About It (Page 18)

Question 1.
“Ausable did not St any description of a secret agent
Fowler had ever read”. What do secret agents in
books and Slms look like, in your opinion ? Discuss in
groups or in class some stories or movies featuring
spies, detectives and secret agents, and compare
their appearance with that of Ausable in this story.
(You may mention characters from Sction in
languages other than English. In English Sction you
may have come across Sherlock Holmes. Hercule
Poirot, or Miss Marple. Have you watched any movies
featuring James Bond ?)
Answer:
In my opinion, secret agents in books and Slms look
differently. They wear _owing . robes. These are like
long overcoats and a hat on their head. This hat
hides their faces. Then they have very keen and sharp
eyes.

I saw some movies featuring James Bond. It is titled :

007 James Bond, The Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never
Dies, etc.

Question 2.
How does Ausable manage to make Max believe that
there is a balcony attached to his room ? Look back
at his detailed description of it. What makes it a
convincing story ?
Answer:
First Ausable says that there is a balcony before his
room. It is also before the other room adjoining it. It is
the next room. Ausable tells Max that there is police
at the door when knocking is heard. Max is frightened
at this. He asks Ausable to send the police back. He
would go and wait on the balcony. But there is no
balcony. Max falls down.

Question 3.
Looking back at the story, when do you think Ausable
thought up his plan for getting rid of Max ? Do you
think he had worked out his plan in detail right from
the beginning ? Or did he make up a plan taking
advantage of events as they happened ?
Answer:
Ausable saw Max in his room when he switched on
the light. Max had a small automatic pistol in his
hand. Ausable felt shocked to see him. He decided
there and then to get I rid of Max.

No, he had not worked out his plan in detail right from
the beginning. He made the plan there and then when
he saw Max there. Max had a pistol in his hand.

Talk About It

Question 1.
In this story, Ausable shows great ‘presence of mind’,
or the ability to think quickly, and act calmly and
wisely, in a situation of danger and surprise. Give
examples from your own experience, or narrate a
story, which shows someone’s presence of mind.
Answer:
I remember one similar incident that happened to
me. Once as a small boy, I was sleeping in the house.
I was very afraid of ghosts or thieves. At midnight
there was some sound of utensils from the kitchen. It
was quite near my room. I was greatly scared. But
the sound continued. After a few moments I heard
the movement of footsteps on the _oor. I do not
know what happened to me then. I got up silently. I
held the leg of the thief tightly. I dug my teeth into his
calf. Actually I had come out of my bed. Then I saw
the leg in the moonrays there. I do not know what
had made me do so. My parents came crying “A thief!
A thief!” They declared me ‘a hero’.

Question 2.
Discuss what you would do in the situations
described below. Remember that presence of mind
comes out of a state of mental preparedness. If you
have thought about possible problems or dangers,
and about how to act in such situations, you have a
better chance of dealing with such situations if they
do arise.

A small Sre starts in your kitchen.

A child starts to choke on a piece of food.
An electrical appliance starts to hiss and gives
out sparks.
A bicycle knocks down a pedestrian.
It rains continuously for more than twenty-four
hours.
A member of your family does not return home
at the usual or expected time.

You may suggest other such situations.

Answer:

For discussion at class level with the supervision,

advice and direction of the teacher.

If there is a small Sre in the kitchen, a blanket

should be put over it at once. Water may be
thrown on it. In case of a short circuit, all
members should go out at once.
When a child starts choking on a piece of food,
his or her back should be thumped slowly. This
way the piece of food may be thrown out. He or
she should at once be hospitalised if the
condition worsens.
If an electrical appliance starts to hiss and
gives out sparks, the current should be
stopped. The appliance should be got repaired
or its use be stopped.
The pedestrian should at once be attended to.
If there is a serious mishap, calling for an
ambulance is desirable. Public help may be
sought.
In that case one should go to the roof and
contact the neighbours. Necessary things like
food articles, medicines etc, should be
collected at one place. Distress signals may be
sent.
His places of visit, his oece, his friends, etc,
should be contacted at once. One shouldn’t be
panicky. One should think about the hurdles
that could have withheld him. If he comes, it is
O.K. If not police should be contacted.
