(c) 'You' believed that Ausable was not a secret agent

(d) He spoke French like an American

Explanation:

• The "Midnight Visitor" by Robert Arthur is a story about a detective defying the stereotype, as we are familiar from novels and films. In more respects than one, Ausable differed from most secret agents. In a rundown French hotel, he had a little room in a moldy corridor.
• Ausable was a overweight man of short height with a "thick accent". A young writer named Fowler goes to visit him to get his next plot or book ideas. But the young writer, was  very disappointed to see a Ausable as a detective.
•  Ausable spoke French and German passably  that too with an American accent even though he has been living in Paris for over 20 years. He makes appointments through telephone calls rather than getting messages slipped into hands secretly from his  secret messengers (like we see in detective movies)
