Question

Whom does the frustrated guest referred to in the lesson the midnight visitor

Answer 1

Answer:

In the story the midnight visitor, Max was the visitor. He visited Ausable because he wanted some papers from him. He went to him with a pistol. He tried to threaten Ausable

When Ausable says that he had complained to the hotel management earlier as well about someone entering the room from the balcony that was below his room, Max started thinking that had he known there was a balcony, it would have been much easier for him to get to Ausable’s room. Ausable then tells Max that he wanted extra protection for the papers that were supposed to come in that day and that he had informed the police who were knocking on the door, checking on him. This made Max very nervous and he thought that he would wait for the police to go on the balcony. Without realizing, he jumped out of the window and did not realize that there was no balcony. So the way Ausable thinks calmly and quickly makes the story a lot more convincing.
