* [[Sleeping Dummy]]: In ''The Red House Mystery'', [[Amateur Sleuth|Anthony]] and [[The Watson|Bill]] do this before going off to tail a suspect at night, so that the suspect (who is staying in the same house as they are) won't realize they're onto him. Bill is pretty proud of his sleeping dummy, but Anthony's is so convincing that it even fools Bill. |
