Horace Danby was a meticulous planner but still he faltered. Where did he go wrong and why?

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{\pink{Answer:-}}}}}$

Horace Danby failed to execute his robbery properly even though he had enough information about the house at Shotover Grange, its rooms, location of valuable items, its electric wiring, its paths and its garden. But he did not have much information about the real occupants of the house. Although he exhibited smartness in knowing the dog’s actual name, he failed to get proper information about the occupants of the house. Hence, when the young lady caught him red-handed while trying to break the lock of the safe, he was too frightened and could not understand that the woman tricked him to believe her. When the lady assured to let him freely without informing the police, Horace’s clever mind gave way to carelessness and he opened the safe without wearing gloves, thereby leaving his fingerprints all over the place.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Horace Danby was a meticulous planner, but still he faltered. He used to plan his robberies very well. He knew all the details of the Shotover Grange. He knew the time when there would be no one at the house.
