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.”
