Answers
Explanation:
“Horace Danby was good and respectable — but not completely honest”. Why do you think this description is apt for Horace? Why can’t he be categorised as a typical thief?
“Horace Danby was good and respectable − but not completely honest”. This description is apt for Horace because he was a fifty years old unmarried man who made locks to earn his living. Moreover, he is successful enough at his business to keep two helpers. He is a respectable fellow in the society. He is not completely honest because he robs a safe every year. He likes to collect rare and expensive books. He robs only once a year. He plans the robbery carefully. He intends to collect the amount of money which he may need to buy rare and expensive books. Though he has a good intention behind robbing, yet the fact that he stole to achieve this end shows that he is not completely honest.
He cannot be categorised as a typical thief because he doesn't have the habit of stealing things. He only steals the money that is enough to buy the books
