Max was slender, a little less than tall, with features that suggested slightly the crafty, pointed countenance of a fox. There was about him — aside from the gun — nothing especially menacing.
the report

Горка: 2
Ausable moved to an armchair and sat down heavily. Fowler’s eyes went to the single window of the room. It was an ordinary window, against which now the night was pressing blackly.
I’m going to raise the devil with the management this time, and you can bet on it
balcony?
This is the second time in a month that somebody has got into my room through that nuisance of a balcony!
No, a passkey. I did not know about the balcony. It might have saved me some trouble had I known.
Горка: 3
Max glanced at Fowler, who was standing stiffly not far from Ausable and waved the gun with a commanding gesture.
It had the balcony, which extends under my window now. You can get onto it from the empty room two doors down — and somebody did, last month. The management promised to block it off. But they haven’t.
It’s not my balcony. It belongs to the next apartment. You see, this room used to be part of a large unit, and the next room — through that door there — used to be the living room.
Please sit down. We have a wait of half an hour, I think.
