The Midnight Visitor I

Ausable did not look like any secret agent Fowler had read about. He was past middle age and very, very fat. Fowler followed him down the gloomy corridor of the old French hotel where the secret agent had a small room on the sixth floor. "You are disappointed," Ausable said over his 1) houlder. "You were told that I was a secret agent, a spy. You wanted to meet me because 1ou are a young and romantic writer. You had eX'pected mysterious figures in the night, the crack of guns and poison in the wine. But instead of having secret messages slipped into my hand by a dark­ eyed beauty, I only got a phone call arranging a meeting in my room. You've been bored!" The fat man laughed to himself as he unlocked the door of his room and let his frustrated guest enter. "Cheer up, my young friend. Soon you will see a top secret report 2f�1Vtre� to this room, a report rhat may someday affect the course of history. That is the drama, is it not?" As he was speaking, :\usable closed the door behind him. Then he s�itched on the light. Halfway across the room a man was standing and pointing an automatic pistol at them. He was slender, not tall, with a face like a fox. Ausable blinked a few times. "Max," he said, "you startled me. What are you doing in my room?" "The report," Max murmured. "The secret report that is being brought to you tonight. I want it." Ausable sat down heavily in an armchair. "I'm furious with the hotel manager," he said grimly. "This is the second time in a month that someone has entered my room from that balcony!" Fowler's eyes went to the single window of the room. "Balcony?" Max asked. "No, I had a key. What balcony?"

"It belongs to the next room, but it extends under my window," explained Ausable angrily. "The manager promised to block it off, but he hasn't." Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Ausable smiled with relief. "That is the police. I told them to check on me to make sure everything was all right." Max bit his lip nervously. The knocking was repeated. "What will you do now, Max?" Ausable asked. "If I do not answer the door, they will come in anyway. And they will not hesitate to shoot." Max's face was black with anger as he backed swiftly toward the window and put one leg out into the night. "Send them away," he warned. "I will wait on the balcony." The knocking on the door became louder and a voice was raised. "Mr Ausable! Mr Ausable!" Keeping the gun on the two men, Max grasped the window frame and swung the other leg up and over. The doorknob turned. As Max dropped onto the balcony, he screamed once. The door opened and a waiter stood there with a tray, a bottle and two glasses. "Here is the drink you ordered, sir." He set the tray on the table and left the room. White faced and shaking, Fowler stammered, "but ... but ... what about ... the police?" "There never were any police," Ausable sighed. "Only room service, whom I was expecting." "But what about the man on the balcony ...?" Fowler began. "What balcony?" asked Ausable. Fowler was still breathing hard as Ausable calmly poured himself a drink.

Some words can be identified as adjectives by their suffixes. Some common adj ective suffixes are: -a/, -able, -ous, - tic and -ive. Some adj ective suffixes have got a special meaning : the suffix - ful means with, while the suffix -less means without. Note that sometimes there are changes in spel ling.
