After his first day’s experience with the hack driver the lawyer thinks of returning to New Mullion to practise law. Do you think he would have reconsidered this idea after his second visit?
After his first day’s experience with the hack driver the lawyer had thought about returning to new mullion to practice law. He was over the whelmedmy bill’s hospitality. However, during his second visit he realized that he had been literally taken for a ride by the hack driver who himself was Lutkins. In this lutkins was helped by the town people. After becoming the laughter source for the town, it is most likely that the lawyer would have reconsidered his initial idea of working there.

“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. (You may mention characters from fiction in languages other than English. In English fiction you may have come across Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, or Miss Marple. Have you watched any movies featuring James Bond?)
