Question

Horance danby was a meticulous person as he collected all the information of the house which he looted. But in the case of Shotover Grange he failed miserably. Explain the reasons for the failure of his plan that put him behind the bars

Answer 1

Answer:

Every year Horace Danby would meticulously plan what he should do.

He studied all the details like the electric wiring, the garden and the paths of "Shooter Grange" for two weeks, before he set out to rob it. With a bag full of his tools, he crossed the garden wall and entered the kitchen with the key hanging outside. To ensure that he left no fingerprint on the scene, he wore a pair of gloves and befriended the pet dog as well. The plan was so well made that he has even read an article of the description of the house, in a magazine. But, as he was moving about, he could not resist the urge to sneeze. This raised an alarm for another thief, who was already upstairs. The thief was a young and a very pretty lady. Horace thought, she was the lady of the house but, the thief understood who Horace really was and quickly tricked him. Horace had failed. He had meticulously planned and learnt everything about the house, except the details of the people residing in the house.

Horace Danby was a meticulous planner but still he faltered. He went wrong when he trusted the young lady. He believed in the phrase 'honour among thieves'. But the young lady lacked honour. She befooled Horace who belonged to the same profession.

Hope this help you :-

Answer 2

Explanation:

${\huge{\overbrace{\underbrace{\pink{Your_Answer }}}}}$

“Horace Danby was good and respectable − but not completely honest”. This description is apt for Horace. He was about fifty years old. He robbed only from rich people, and his purpose was to buy rare and expensive books with the money. He stole only once a year. The intention of buying books was good. However, the fact that he stole to achieve this end showed that he was not completely honest. He cannot be categorized as a typical thief because he did not steal to eat or drink. He had a house. He made locks, had two people to help him, and was successful in his business. He only stole enough money to buy the books. For a couple of days, he even kept his promise to the lady he met at Shotover Grange by not stealing or planning any robbery.
