Introduction to the lesson
It is said that you must set a thief to catch a thief. But it is also said that there is honour among
thieves. Which saying does this story illustrate?
The story is about a man named Horace Danby who is 50 years old and everyone around him
thinks he is a good and an honest man. He used to build locks and used to earn enough profit
so that he could hire two servants to help him. He was sent to jail once about 15 years ago
because he used to commit robberies every year. This year, when he goes to a house for
robbery, he meets a woman who pretends to be the owner of the house. Later when he leaves
from there and is arrested after 2-3 days, he comes to know the truth of that lady.
