Answer:

According to me, Horace Danby was not a hard core thief. He stole because he loved to read and he only robbed rich people. He wanted only to buy good and expensive books to read. He was otherwise a nice and respectable man. But in spite of all these good qualities A thief is a thief no matter what the purpose is, how much the amount is and whoever the person being robbed is. What a thief does with his booty is secondary to his crime. In the eyes of law he is a criminal who has to be punished. It was inevitable that he would get caught one day even if the Lady in Red had not fooled him. A crime has to be seen as a crime and no other hue can be given to it. Even if no one is harmed in the crime still the , criminal has to be nabbed and punished. So, Horace deserved what he got.
