Oh dear! I'm so very sorry, I'm afraid my brain transformed that into "up to 60 words". Entry has been fixed.
To be honest, the slightly mean joke is my fault here. I imagined Holmes thinking that very thought in full seriousness, that his companion should have been able to smell an unusual perfume (with the lady being foreign) from very far off, not to mention that simply everything pointed toward a female being the mysterious lodger, especially after Holmes had already remarked about the stranger not necessarily also being the person up in the room. The "mile" was probably a little exaggerated. However, I found it amusing to let him write down this thought in full earnestness, while everybody would believe him to be cruel upon the poor doctor. Holmes often seems to be aware of his superior senses and abilities, but I don't think he can be that understanding all the time.
Wow, that was a lot of babbling for such a short thing. ^^" Sorry!
