Answers
Answer:
Horace Danby had a good reputation in the society. He was about fifty and unmarried. He made locks and had two helpers. He loved rare and expensive books. Horace robbed a safe every year. He was now out on committing a robbery.
For two weeks Horace had studied the house of Shotover Grange. He had to burgle this house. Horace Danby entered the house . Horace had allergy from flower ; he started sneezeing. Then he heard a voice. The voice told him that he could cure the sneeze. It was the voice of a woman. She stood in the doorway. She was young and pretty. His first thought was to run. The lady told him that she would telephone the police. She would tell them about him. Horace Danby told him to let him go and forget she ever saw him. The lady put one condition for letting Horace go.
She told him that she had promised her husband to take her jewel to the bank. She had, however, left jewels in the safe . She told him that she wanted to wear the jewels in a party that night . She came down to get them. But she had forgotten the numbers to open the safe . So she needed his help and Horace opened the safe for her.
After two days a policeman had arrested him for the jewel robbery at Shotover Grange . Danby’s fingerprint were found all over the room. He had opened the safe without gloves. He said to the police that the landlady of the house said him to open the safe. But the lady was 60 years old woman . She said Danby's story is a nonsense.
Horace is now in prison. He often thinks of the charming and clever young lady. She was in the same profession. She had simply tricked him. Danby gets angry when anyone talks about “honour among thieves”.
In other's point of view Horace Danby was a very noble and good citizen. He was a lock maker. He was 50 years old and unmarried.
He was having a hobby to read very expensive and rare books. For buying these books he used to break open a safe once a year. For buying those books he had 2 agents also.
Once he tried to break open a safe. For this he went to a mansion. There as he entered the room he got disturbed by the hay fever. He had hay fever from flowers.
Then there came a lady who was in red dress and was having Sharry , the dog with her. She pretended to be the mistress of that house. She prepared a fake story regarding the jewels and Horace Danby believed her.
Inspite of not having jewels with him , Horace Danby got arrested by the police, it was because the young lady was fraud and there were fingerprints of Horace all over the room.
