Question

Everyone thought that Horace Denby was a good and honest citizen. He was about

fifty years old and unmarried, and he lived with a housekeeper who worried over his

health. In fact, he was usually very well and happy, except for attacks of hay fever in

summer. He made expensive locks and was successful enough at his business to

have two helpers. Yes, Horace Denby was good and respectable – but not

completely honest.

Fifteen years ago, Horace had served his first and only sentence in p

rison for

stealing jewels. The priest at the prison had liked Horace – everyone did – and had

tried to help him to live an honest life. But Horace did not want to become honest. He

only wanted to make sure that his dishonesty never got him into trouble again.
