"And no jury of your peers would convict you." Arthur adds with a chuckle but his expression sobers at Joan's comment. Not that he disagrees but there are implications. "If you do go overt, and there really isn't a reason not to beyond two. You have to consider Auggie and Annie. Those that know all three of you, how do they assume that you know each other? It won't necessarily blow their covers but they'll need to come up with plausible deniability."
Arthur's connections had been easy, Annie's work in the Smithsonian would put her in the same social circle as him for fund raisers and Auggie's work would do the same. As his wife, that could also be their connection but as he was already overt, it would have people looking at Annie and Auggie and wonder.
