Q. 1. "Ausable did not fit any description of a secret agent Fowler had ever read". What do secret agents in books and films 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 fiction in languages other than English. In English fiction you may have come across Sherlock Holmes. Hercule Poirot, or Miss Marple. Have you watched any movies featuring James Bond?)
Q. 1. "औसेबल एक गुप्त एजेंट फाउलर के किसी भी विवरण में फिट नहीं था जिसे फाउलर ने कभी पढ़ा था"। आपकी राय में किताबों और फिल्मों में गुप्त एजेंट कैसे दिखते हैं? समूहों या कक्षा में जासूसों, जासूसों और गुप्त एजेंटों की कुछ कहानियों या फिल्मों पर चर्चा करें, और इस कहानी में औसेबल के साथ उनकी उपस्थिति की तुलना करें। (आप अंग्रेजी के अलावा अन्य भाषाओं में कथा साहित्य के पात्रों का उल्लेख कर सकते हैं। अंग्रेजी कथा साहित्य में आप शर्लक होम्स से मिल सकते हैं। हरक्यूल पोयरोट, या मिस मार्पल। क्या आपने जेम्स बॉन्ड की कोई फिल्म देखी है?)
Ans. In my opinion, secret agents in books and films look differently. They have flowing robes and a hat on their head. This hat hides their faces. Then they have very keen and sharp eyes.
The comparison with prominent secret agents can be done at class level. These secret agents can be Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot or Miss Maple. This may be done with the guidance and supervision of the class teacher.
I saw some movies featuring James Bond. It is titled: 007 James Bond, The Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies etc.
Q. 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?
Q. 2. ऑसेबल मैक्स को यह विश्वास दिलाने में कैसे कामयाब होता है कि उसके कमरे से एक बालकनी जुड़ी हुई है? इसके बारे में उनके विस्तृत विवरण को देखें। क्या यह एक आश्वस्त करने वाली कहानी बनाता है?
Ans. First Ausable says that there is a balcony before his room. It is also before the other adjoining it. It is the next room. Ausable tells Max that there is police at the door when knocking is heard. Max is frightened. He asks Ausable to send the police back. He would go and wait on the balcony. But there is no balcony. Max falls down to his death.
Q. 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?
Q. कहानी को पीछे देखते हुए, आपको क्या लगता है कि औसेबल ने मैक्स से छुटकारा पाने की अपनी योजना के बारे में कब सोचा? क्या आपको लगता है कि उसने शुरू से ही अपनी योजना पर विस्तार से काम किया था? या इसका फायदा उठाकर उसने कोई योजना बनाई थी घटनाएँ जैसे वे घटित हुईं?
Ans. 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 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.
