But a topee is not a turban, and I had been my teacher’s pupil before I became my husband’s wife, learning to my bones that half a disguise is none at all…The moment my short-cropped, pomade-sleek, unquestionably masculine hair passed beneath his nose was the closest thing I’ve ever seen Holmes to fainting dead away.

Holmes had cultivated the ability to still the noise of the mind, by smoking his pipe and playing nontunes on the violin.

Thus does inattention allow the mind to register the still, small whisper of the daughter of the voice.
