                    TEXT BOOK QUESTIONS:-
                    Q1 . Did you begin to suspect, before the end of the story, that the lady was not
                    the person Horace Danby took her to be? If so, at what point did you realise
                    this, and how?

                    Q2. 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?

                    Q3. “Horace Danby was good and respectable — but not completely honest”.
                    Why do you think this description is apt for Horace? Why can’t he be
                    categorised as a typical thief?

                    Q.4. Horace Danby was a meticulous planner but still he faltered. Where did he
                    go wrong and why?

                    Q.5. Do you think Horace Danby was unfairly punished, or that he deserved
                    what he got?
