Mnay thanks to you and garonne for so much info, and so many links. (Only 4%?)
I was going to draw attention to the curious actions of Janet Tregellis, but it occurred to me that she might indeed have been apparent. Watson would have had a scene with a beauty in distress, but Holmes might have felt it added nothing to the case.
Nonetheless, it is possible that the reason no one found Brunton's scarf was that either girl told a search party there was nothing in that cellar, and his treasure hunting with Rachel would certainly make Janet feel she'd been ditched in her turn.
