How is Ausable different from other secret agents?
Ausable was different from other secret agents in variable ways than one and did not fit in the description of a normal agent. He had a small room in the musty corridor of a gloomy French hotel on the sixth top floor and there was scarcely the setting for a romantic adventure. He was very fatty and had a very different accent. Though he spoke French and german passably (good but not so good enough) but he never lost his American accent in spite of living in paris for over twenty years. Instead of getting messages slipped into his hands by dark-eyed beauties, he got only a telephone call for making an appointment. In these ways, he was different from the conventional of a spy.
