Question
Answer the following question in 100-120 words:
How did the lady in red manage to outsmart and out maneuver the other thief, Horace Danby, by robbing the safe without leaving a single fingerprint?
Solution 1
In "A Question of Trust," the lady in red uses precise planning and ability to pilfer the safe without leaving fingerprints, outwitting Horace Danby. The thief conceals herself by wearing gloves, wiping down surfaces, and using stealth measures to escape detection. Despite Danby's precautions, the lady in red successfully pulls off the heist.
Solution 2
In "A Question of Trust" by Victor Canning, the lady in red cleverly outsmarts Horace Danby, an experienced thief. She catches him red-handed while he is attempting to rob a safe. Pretending to be the owner’s wife, she deceives Horace into believing that she will not report him if he helps her open the safe. Unaware of her trick, Horace opens the safe for her while wearing gloves, leaving no fingerprints. However, she takes the jewels without wearing gloves, ensuring that only his fingerprints remain. This clever move frames Horace for the crime, leading to his arrest while she escapes without suspicion. Her intelligence and quick thinking allow her to outmaneuver him completely.
