Answer:

Horace Danby deserved the punishment that he got and he was rightfully punished.

Explanation:

Horace Danby is a character from the story called "A question of trust". deserved the punished so far virtue ad vice is concerned. This is because, he could not be profited by the act of robbery in anyway and this was not the way he could continue to earn his living. Yet, he chose this option just to gather enough money to buy old and expensive books.

Buying and reading books is undoubtedly noble but it should not be done by robbing others and harming them. Here he was wrong. Hence he wiped out the feeling of "trust" from others' words through his actions and deserved to be punished.

Horace Danby undoubtedly deserved punishment.

Explanation:

Though Danby’s habits were not typical as a thief, he deserves punishment. He was fond of books and he used to steal the books only once in a year. I strongly believe that the act of theft is a crime no matter how good the thief behaves.

Even though Danby is well mannered; he can’t be termed as honest. He deserves what he got as crime is a crime even if is done once or multiple times.
