How did horace help the 'landlady'?
Answers
Answer:
Horace made the mistake of blindly trusting the beautiful lady who presented herself as the owner of the house where had gone to do the burglary. The truth was the lady was not the owner; she was a very clever thief who outsmarted Horace. Mistaking her for the owner of the house, he agreed to open safe for her. In hurry he forgot to put on his gloves. The police arrested him on the basis of his fingerprints found on the safe.
Answer:
In the chapter ‘A Question of Extra Trust’, Horace helped the ‘landlady’ by handing over the jewels he stole for the safety of himself. The lady persuaded him to get the jewellery as she needed it for the party. Horace could not recognise her acting skills and got trapped. He opened it safe without putting on his gloves. She was a vulpine thief and gets the benefits while Horace was sent to prison in her place.
