E's not as bright as 's thinks 'e is, is 'e?"
"Like lots of people." Sherlock replied.
You've got a cunnin' mind,' Matty pointed out. 'Ever thought of becomin' a criminal yourself?'.
He is looking at a plate of biscuits,' Dodgson said.
'I told him that he had to sit there for fifteen minutes without moving while I took the portrait. In fact the process only took eight minutes, but I was enjoying seeing him pining for the biscuits that I just left him there to suffer'.
It's the direction you were looking when you were talking. You were looking straight ahead during most of your story, but your eyes weren't focused on anything in particular, which indicates that you were putting together a series of memories into a coherent order, but when you mentioned the pathologist at the Oxford mortuary you looked up and to the left. That indicates you were remembering something specific that he said, something important."
"And you can tell all that just from the direction I was looking?" Sherlock asked, fascinated.
"To an extent. That's how I can tell when people are lying to me - their eyes drift to their right rather than their left. That means they're putting together stories, rather than remembering things. It's something I've observed over many years of having people tell me lies and tell me the truth. So - what is it that you were remembering?".
You're looking at the effects of people's lives on their bodies. You want to be able to look at a person and tell what they do for a living, where they've come from and how they live.

Man makes plans and God laughs," Sherlock said.
We should've woken Maberley up," Matty pointed out. "Or at least taken 'is gun."
"Don't tell me that now," Sherlock muttered. "Tell me that half an hour ago.".
Matty stared at him for a moment. "I hate when you don't have a plan," he said finally. "You don't do well when you're improvising."
"Hey, I got you out of the orchard in one piece, didn't I?"
Matty nodded. "You did at that. All right ten - take care of yourself. Don't die."
"I'll try not to.".
she was supplying poisons to criminals around the world?" Sherlock was aghast.
"She was" his brother confirmed. "Poison is a woman's weapon.".
He knew that his brother was wrong in this respect, and Mycroft's insistence that the world would always be pretty much the way it was now worried him. There were changes ahead - big changes - and the world needed to be ready for them.
When were ice cream cones invented?" (The answer is that they were first mentioned in the year 1825, where they were said to have been made from "little waffles", so, when Sherlock and Mycroft have their ice creams in the park in the epilogue, it's all historically accurate.).
