Mrs. Trotteville was out, so the five children had tea in Fattys crowded little den. It was more crowded than ever now that Fatty had got various disguises and wigs. The children exclaimed in delight over a blue-and-white striped butcher-boys apron and a lift-boys suit complete with peaked cap. But, Fatty, whenever could you disguise yourself as a lift-boy? asked Larry. You never know, said Fatty. You see, I can only get disguises that do for a boy. If I were a grown-up I could get dozens and dozens - a sailors suit, a postmans, even a policemans. But Im a bit limited, being a boy. Fatty also had a bookcase crammed full of detective stories. He read every one he could find. I pick up quite a lot of hints that way, he said. I think Sherlock Holmes was one of the best detectives. Golly, he had some fine mysteries to solve. I dont believe even I could have solved all of them! Youre a conceited creature, said Larry, trying on the red wig. He looked very startling in it.
