Never trust a lady

Horace Demby was about fifty and unmarried. He made locks and was successful. Everyone thought that Horace Demby was good and respectable.
But he was not completely honest. Horace was a safe-breaker and robbed a safe every year. Fifteen years ago Horace had served his first and only time in prison for stealing jewels. Horace hated the thought of prison, but he didn’t want to become honest.
Now, walking in the bright sunshine, he felt sure that this year’s robbery was going to be successful as all the others.. Each year he planned carefully just what he would do. He had seen the housekeeper hang the key to the kitchen door on a hook outside. He put on a pair of gloves, took the key, and opened the door.
The safe was in the drawing-room, behind a rather poor painting. There was a great bowl of flowers on the table, and Horace felt his nose tickle( he has an allergic reaction to pollen ).
He had four hours before the servants returned. He began to work but the smell of the flowers came to him again and he sneezed loudly. Then he heard a voice asking if that was cold or hay fever. Before he could think, he answered that was hay fever and found himself sneezing again. The voice advised to see a doctor to find out just what plants gives him the disease.
It was kindly voice, but one with firmness in it.
A young and pretty woman was standing in the doorway. She was surprised to meet a burglar in her house. Horace was dazed her sudden appearance and his first thought was to run. But he had some hope because the woman seemed to be amused by meeting him. He asked her let him go and promised never to do that kind of thing again. The woman said that she would him go only if he done something for her. She asked Horace to open the safe because she had forgotten the number to open the safe and explained that she want to wear her jewels to a party tonight. Within an hour Horace had opened the safe, given her the jewels, and gone happily away.
For two days he kept his promise to the kind young lady. On the noon of the third day a policeman had arrested him for the jewel robbery. His fingerprints were all over the room ( he took off his gloves when he gave the young women his cigarette lighter), and no one believed his story of the wife of the owner of the house asking him to open the safe for her. The wife herself, a gray-haired, sharp-tongued woman of sixty, said that the story was nonsense.
Horace is now the assistant librarian in the prison. He often thinks of that charming, clever young lady who was in the same profession as he was, and who tricked him.
He gets very angry when anyone talks about “ honor among thieves”.

Learning to write and speak a foreign language correctly requires having somebody to correct your grammar and usage errors. Otherwise you may learn a substandard version of the language with deep-rooter mistakes and incorrect usages that are hard to get rid of.

A popular and tried-and-true way to learn languages involves writing texts in a foreign language on a daily basis and reading them aloud to a native speaker, who will correct any mistakes.

Native speakers or language professionals will review your text and correct all errors of style or grammar free of charge. You can also request a sound recording of the spoken version of your corrected text that will let you hear the subtleties of pronunciation by a native speaker.
