Answers
Answer:
Horace Danby regretted on his luck. Actually it was not him who had ribbed the safe in real, but he was caught up for that crime.
➡ He faced a loss of trust. Actually he trusted that lady (in mischief) and di what she wanted, but it was that lady who broken her trust.
➡ Also, he became sad for going into the jail without committing any real crime. He only planned for the crime, and not robbed else that lady robbed. But Horace only went jail and that lady was free.
Danby requested the lady to let him go home. She asked him to open the safe as she needed the jewels but she had forgotten the number. Danby willingly opened the safe without gloves. The young lady got the jewels. Horace Danby went away happily because he had escaped from being imprisoned. On the third day, a policeman had arrested him for the jewel robbery at Shotover Grange.
His fingerprints were found at the robbed place. He confessed that he had opened the safe for the young wife of the owner of the house. But in reality, the owner’s wife was about sixty years old. She said that the story was not true. No one believed Danby. Now, the police arrested him. He was the assistant librarian in the prison. He always thought of the charming, young lady who was in the same profession as he was. Now he didn’t believe in the thought of ‘honour among thieves.’
