टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

No, Ausable was not waiting for the police. He had ordered his drink with waiter Henry. He was expecting him only. As the knock was heard, he decided to use the opportunity to scare away Max by casually informing him that it must be the police. He added the police may fire if they see Max there.
