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?
The answer is, Yes, one does begin to suspect before the end of the story that the lady was not the person, Horace dandy took her to be. She was unusually clam on seeing Horace. Because if someone finds a thief inside their house one is ought to be scared. This seemed strange enough when she did not call the police and instead of that she asked Horace to take out all the jewels from the safe, even if it meant breaking it open and this seemed suspicious. Moreover, it also seemed unlikely that she also forgot the numbers to open the safe. Therefore, it was very evident, before the story ended, that the lady was not the person Horace had taken her to be.
