Horace justified that he was not a man who threatened society​ as he robbed only the rich once a year that too for the noble cause of buying books.

Explanation:

  • In the story A Question of Trust, Victor Canning creates a most amazing and unique character- Horace Danby.
  • Horace is the central character of the story.
  • He is well to do man but with a peculiar hobby.
  • He loves to collect exquisite books but buys them at the expense of theft.
  • He steals money annually to fulfil his urge of buying the books.

  • We find him in the rich Shotover Grange a very rich mansion.
  • He has chosen the place after much research.
  • It is here that he confronts another extremely intelligent thief guised as the lady of the house.
  • Mistaking her for the owner's wife Horace justifies his theft stating that he certainly is not a man who threatens society.
