The idea

Olivia hears a riddle, Viola states a fact, and the audience holds the key. That is unit thirteen's dramatic irony compressed into one clause, and it shows why disguise plots recur: they generate the device continuously and at no cost.

In practice

A riddle, a fact, and a key.

Where people slip

Disguise generates irony continuously.
