Those involved in the French revolution despise him for this ability to hide himself from them with his cunning. Chaveulin grows increasingly frustrated for not being able to discover the Pimpernel due to his master disguise skills.

Disclaimer: This story is realistic-ish fiction It nearly cost me my life. To become the world snowboarding champion, it takes a lot of practice, but mostly time.

Snowboarding down a slope 20 times a day, 4 days a week is what it took.
