A/N: I imagine Watson couldn't resist ribbing Holmes about being fooled by St. Clair...

“Holmes, the art of disguise is not unknown to you.”

“I fancy I have some small skill at it.”

“And you complain that I see but do not observe.”

“A regrettable truth.”

“How is it, then, that you did not observe that Boone was really St. Clair?”

“Hmphf. I had forgotten the first rule of disguise: hide in plain sight.”

Nicely done :-)

I like the idea that Watson is trying very hard not to burst out laughing at this point.

So true, a fact Holmes uses to his advantage many times. That someone else used it successfully (for a time) against him must both irk and impress him.

Well done!
