what was Fowler's perception about a secret agent?
Answers
Answer: Secret agents in books and films look quite different. They usually wear a headgear (a cap or a hat), a long coat and gloves on their hands. They are usually portrayed with black goggles. They are quite sharp and intelligent. In the given plot when Fowler, a young writer, met Ausable, he was very disappointed because Ausable didn't fit into the description of a secret agent. His appearance was quite different. He was a dull, fat man who knew French and German languages but had a predominant American accent in his speech
Answer:
Fowler had a romantic perception about a secret
agent. He used to think that a secret agent should
be tall and handsome. He should deal with a
dangerous situation. His life should be full of
thrill and action. He should receive messages from
mysterious beautiful woman and be surrounded
by mysterious figures. But Ausable did not fit into any such description.
