the town is so called honest but turns out that they were dishonest.

another example is when Mrs Richard found the bag and noticed that there money in the bag and reads the letter she begins to shut the windows and lock doors ..etc.to keep "burglars from coming" this is ironic since we believed that everyone is honest. so its better to be with a murderer than a liar because you know what to expect with a murderer that a liar because the liar can lie.
