“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?)

Secret agents in fiction are shown as ideal men, ‘Tall dark and handsome’. They are typically well built and have gorgeous women to accompany them. They usually smoke pipe or cigar and do death defying difficult stunts. James Bond is a very famous character by Ian Fleming. The movies based on James Bond show hi-tech gizmos which help the detective in encountering the villains. There is a character named Feluda which was created by Satyajit Ray, the famous Bangla Filmmaker. Feluda was typical bhadralok by appearance.
