Answer the following question in about 80 words:
Why was the robbery of current year going to be successful, according to Horace?
(A Question of Trust)
Fifteen years ago, Horace had served his first and only sentence in a prison library. He loved rare, expensive books. So he robbed a safe every year. Each year he planned carefully just what he would do, stole enough to last for twelve months, and secretly bought the books he loved through an agent. He felt sure that the current year’s robbery was going to be as successful as all the others. For two weeks he had been studying the house at Shotover Grange, looking at its rooms, its electric wiring, its paths and its garden. That afternoon the two servants, who remained in the Grange while the family was
in London, had gone to the movies.
