Question

give a character sketch of Horace denby​

Answer 1

‘A Question of Trust’ is based on the robbery committed in a house at Shot over Grange. Two professional thieves and burglars come face to face while on the same mission of robbing a safe in the house. Both of them made elaborate preparations to make the theft a complete success. Horace Danby robbed a safe every year only to buy rare and expensive books. He was caught red-handed by a lady in red. The young lady in red was also a thief but she presented herself as the lady of the house. Horace, in confusion, requested her to go away. She threatened to call the police. At last, a compromise was reached. The cost of Horace’s freedom was settled. He was to open the safe and hand over the jewels to her. Horace thought that he was opening the safe for the lady of the house. He handed the jewels over to her and went out happily. He had forgotten to wear his gloves and left his fingerprints on the safe. After two days, Horace was arrested on the basis of those fingerprints left on the safe. A grey-haired sixty years old lady, the wife of the owner of the house stated that Horace’s story was nonsense.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mark me as brainliest

Explanation:

Horace was a good and 'honest man' who led a simple life. He made locks and to satisfy his love for rare and expensive books he stole from a safe once a year. He is a 'honest thief ' who steals only from the rich and only once a year. He thinks that he has planned down to the last detail for his upcoming theft but sometimes unexpected things happen. He is unexpectedly caught b red handed by a lady who is actually a thief herself. Due to this not only is his burglary attempt foiled, but he also gets arrested for stealing jewels that he actually hadn't stolen. He is unlike a professional criminal .He is trusting and above all believes in honour among thieves.
