If Simple knew that the agent was acting as an agent only and did not know Adrienne's identity, he will not be able to sue her. The agent could be sued for breach of warranty of authority, but Adrienne can only be sued if she disclosed her identity as owner and then refused to deliver the furniture. In this case, the instruction was to sell without disclosing her identity.
