How is Ausable different from other secret agents?

Ausable was different from other secret agents in more ways than one and did not fit in the description of a normal agent. He had a small room in the musty corridor of a gloomy French hotel on the sixth and top floor and it was scarcely the setting for a romantic adventure. He was extremely fat and had a very different accent. Though he spoke French and German passably, he never lost his American accent in spite of living in Paris for over twenty years. Instead of getting messages slipped into his hands by dark-eyed beauties, he got only a telephone call making an appointment. In these ways, he was different from the conventional notion of a spy.
