Was Horace decieved? How?
After the police arrested Horace, he said that the wife of the owner of the house had asked him to open the safe for her. But, no one believed him beacuse the wife of the owner herself was a gray-haired and sharp-tongued woman of sixty.
Soon, Horace realized that he was befooled because the woman whom he met that day was a thief herself. She had come to steal the jewels from the safe.
