What are the subtle ways in which the lady manages to deceive Horace Danby into thinking she is the lady of the house? Why doesn’t Horace suspect that something is wrong?
The young woman’s confident walk, the way she touched up her make-up, her familiarity with the dog Sherry and the easy way in which she picked a cigarette from the right place are some of the subtle ways in which she managed to deceive Horace Danby to believe that she was the lady of the house. Horace was frightened and could not think properly, as a result he didn’t suspect that she was trying to trick him to break open the safe for her.
Explanation:
The woman is dressed up as the lady of the house should. She appears to be confident. She pretends as if she has caught Horace robbing and threatens him that she will call the police. Horace doesn't suspect that something is wrong because he is too frightened at the thought of prison.
