The entry of one character in The Midnight Visitor brought a twist in the ending. Explain

"The Midnight Visitor" is a short story by Robert Arthur. The character that brings a twist in the ending is Ausable. Ausable is a secret agent who is not as glamorous as one might expect a secret agent to be. He is overweight, sweaty, and stays in a musty room.

The twist in the story comes when Ausable cleverly tricks Fowler, a rival spy, into believing that there is a balcony outside his hotel room. He does this by mentioning a fictional police officer standing on the balcony. In reality, there is no balcony outside the window.

When a waiter knocks on the door to deliver drinks that Ausable had ordered earlier, Fowler, believing it to be the police, panics and jumps out of the window, falling to his presumed death.

This unexpected turn of events, brought about by Ausable's quick thinking, is the twist at the end of "The Midnight Visitor". It changes the direction of the story completely, showing that intelligence and wit can often be more important than physical prowess in spy work.
