Yes, it was a little dim of Watson to throw down a fag end while lurking in wait for Sherlock Holmes. That was such an habitual action for people who smoked all the time, he wouldn't have even thought. At least, in a pre filter-tip age, the butts weren't as obnoxious!
Good 'point' about the paintings. Pointillism made such a splash, if the gallery was contemporary enough, they might have had a painting by then. I should think Stubbs for Watson, or maybe a good hunting print. ;)
