Call Out a Challenge

I admit to paying scant attention to the audience around us, but Holmes had not forgotten them. He turned to the jury with a simulacrum of his usual masterful air and said, "To forestall any doubts you may have, should the subject of my skill with disguises be raised, I suggest that a closer examination would be as well. With a little soap and water, I'm sure that any question of make-up can be eliminated."

Holmes then fixed his gimlet stare upon the nervous young man I had noted earlier. "You, sir," he commanded. "In the checked suit. Come here."

Ah, the word simulacrum wins at life.

He really sees everything, doesn't he? Word to look up for today: simulacrum. You're so educating, you know. *grins*

The thing that makes this so perfect is that Holmes would do that. :)
