One who can pass off for the original person
UNLESS WE NOTICE
the difference in height / the smaller waist / the wrinkle free smooth face/
the set expression in the face / absolute silence to avoid being discovered!
The ears which are always under a cover / veil of hair may be exposed
and yet no one will be any the wiser - since no one has seen the ears of the original person.
