some things are worth the time

It took him two hours to check the area around Baker Street and be sure that he could move freely.

It took him only an hour to find Watson on his daily tracks. The man was as regular and unchangeable as a railway engine.

It took him fifteen minutes to enter Watson's study and go through his papers. Finances all in order. Work all in order. Patients doing well. Wife died recently. A shame.

It took him a day to find the right books so that he could point at Watson's wall and suggest that they would fit there nicely.
