What these solutions cover

All 7 questions in The Midnight Visitor are solved in the PDF. Here's what's inside, exercise by exercise:

Read and Find Out

  1. How is Ausable different from other secret agents?
  2. Who is Fowler and what is his first authentic thrill of the day?
  3. How has Max got in?
  4. How does Ausable say he got in?

Think about it

  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.
  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?
  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?
