Question

What are the subtle ways in which the lady manages to deceive Horace Danby into thinking she is the lady of the house? Why doesn’t Horace suspect that something is wrong?

Answer 1

Her confident walk, her act of touching up her make-up and the ease with which she picks cigarette from the right place, are enough to deceive anybody. Horace was too frightened to think properly so he didn't suspect anything.
