Answers
Answer:
Below is the answer.
Explanation:
The phrase honour among thieves is a proverb. This explains the idea that regardless of thieves stealing from other people they never dare to steal from one another and respect each other and are loyal to one another.
This kind of pact or oath is exhibited in all criminals who are friends with each other or even know each other from a distance.
This is an old proverb used in Roman times. It was originally seen in books of Cervantes' Don Quixote in the year of 1612.
Answer:
even among thieves there is honour so that they doesn't commit crimes/ robbery against one another. the one who lacked it was the lady as she asked horace to open the safe which was having jewellery. she pretended to be owner's wife and horace didn't wanted to be caught by the police. after he opened the safe. the third day police arrested him for robbing safe ( as it was having his fingerprints) no one believed when he explained about that women. after that he realized that she was also a thieve. the women tricked him and he gets angry when someone mentions/talks about honour among thieves.
