How did Ausable describe the balcony and the manner in which one could get into his room, through it?
उत्तर
It was not Ausable’s balcony. It belonged to the next apartment. It extends under his window now. One can get on to it two doors down as someone did last month. The hotel management, in spite of his protest, has not blocked the balcony till now.
