the old woman claims the ring. then holmes hitches on to the back of her cab to follow her to learn that she had jumped off before her destination arrived. holmes said he was tricked because it must have been a young man in order for him to jump out of a moving cab without being noticed. the "old lady" was standing in front of holmes face to face in his home. how could holmes not tell that it was a young man. i cant imagine any way a young man can disguise himself as an old lady so well that the master of observation Sherlock Holmes could not even notice when standing just a couple feet from one another. maybe im missing something. i love this book but this detail is driving me crazy. thanks
