Storyboard Tekst

  • EVERYONE thought that Horace Danby was a good, honest citizen. He wasabout fifty years old and unmarried, and he lived with a housekeeperwho worried over his health. In fact, he was usually very well and happyexcept for attacks of hay fever in summer. He made locks and wassuccessful enough at his business to have two helpers. Yes, HoraceDanby was good and respectable — but not completely honest.
  • Fifteen years ago, Horace had served his first and only sentence ina prison library. He loved rare, expensive books. So he robbed a safeevery year. Each year he planned carefully just what he would do,stole enough to last for twelve months, and secretly bought the bookshe loved through an agent.
  • Now, walking in the bright July sunshine, he felt sure that thisyear’s robbery was going to be as successful as all the others.
  • I'm thinking of doing this year's robbery from Shotover Grange.
  • For two weeks he had been studying the house at Shotover Grange, looking at its rooms, its electric wiring, its paths and its garden.
  • This afternoon the two servants, who remained in the Grange while the family was in London, had gone to the movies. Horace saw them go, and he felt happy in spite of a little tickle of hay fever in his nose. He came out from behind the garden wall, his tools carefully packed in a bag on his back.
  • Fools!
  • “All right, Sherry,”
  • He had seen the housekeeper hang the key to the kitchen door on ahook outside. He put on a pair of gloves, took the key, and opened thedoor. He was always careful not to leave any fingerprints.A small dog was lying in the kitchen. It stirred, made a noise, andmoved its tail in a friendly way.
  • The safe was not going to be hard to open. After all, he had lived with locks and safes all his life. The burglar alarm was poorly built. He went into the hall to cut its wire. He came back and sneezed loudly as the smell of the flowers came to him again.
