Author's Notes: “Miss Harrison,” said Holmes, speaking with the utmost intensity of manner, “you must stay where you are all day. Let nothing prevent you from staying where you are all day. It is of the utmost importance.”
Miss Harrison was regretting all the cups of tea.
She attempted to distract herself. “Row, row, row your boat, gently down the— No! Er, Doctor Foster went to Gloucester in a— Oh, dear!”
She whimpered piteously.
The maid encountered her in the corridor later. “Everything all right, madam..?”
“Yes!”
Miss Harrison galloped away.
Crikey, thought the maid. She’s gone potty.

Holmes probably thought the rest of her was a mere appendix. It reminds me of a story about U.S. President Thomas Jefferson, who drew up a strict schedule for his daughter's education, assigning her employments for every hour, and mailed it to her with very serious exhortations to stick to it. He didn't realize he had scheduled no time at all for eating at any point of the day.
