Sherlock's Disguises in the Canon
 
 
The fact that serveral rough-looking men called during that time and inquired for Captain Basil made me understand that Holmes was working somewhere under one of the numerous disguises and names with which he concealed his own formidable identity."
(From The Adventure of Black Peter)
To honor Sherlock Holmes, the Master of Disguise, Dr. Huxtable will describe a character in the canon each day (such as 'Captain Basil') and then ask Pipers for the story in which SH dresses thus (Black Peter).
The Master in Disguise:
  • Captain Basil in Black Peter
  • Escott in Charles Augustus Milverton
  • An Italian Priest in The Final Problem
  • An Elderly Bibliophile in The Empty House
  • A French Ouvrier in Lady Frances Carfax
  • An Old Sporting Man and an Old Woman in The Mazarin Stone
  • A drunken-looking groom in A Scandal in Bohemia
  • A Non-Conformist Clergyman in A Scandal in Bohemia
  • A Sailor and an Asthmatic Old Master Mariner in The Sign of Four
  • A Opium Smoker in The Man with the Twisted Lip
  • An Irish American Spy in His Last Bow
