  7. 7. Horace Danby, though an experienced thief, is completely outwitted by a cleverer one. Having broken into a house to rob the safe and fund his love of rare books, Horace is interrupted by a charming young woman who pretends to be the lady of the house. Instead of raising an alarm, she scolds him lightly and then cunningly claims that she has forgotten the key to the safe, persuading Horace to open it for her. Crucially, she gets him to take off his gloves so that he can work the lock. Trusting her completely, Horace opens the safe; she takes the jewels and lets him leave, promising to keep quiet. Only later does Horace realise that she was not the owner at all but another thief who had used him to do the dangerous work. Because he had removed his gloves, his fingerprints are on the safe, and he is arrested for the robbery, while the real thief escapes with the jewels.
