Don't I know you?

Mark 14:66-67 - While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him.
"You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus," she said.

I wonder how many times, at what distance(s), and how recently the servant girl had seen Peter with Jesus. Did she have a really good memory for faces? Had it not been that long ago? Was Peter that recognizable?

I also wonder, if Peter hadn't been associated with Jesus by those in the courtyard, would he still have been considered suspicious just for being there at that time of the night?
