Dr. Watson’s Observational Patterns (Part 1)

Today I started reading complete stories of Sherlock Holmes using the nice hardcover illustrated edition I bought in a local bookshop for just 12 euro (I give an Amazon link here though):
I plan to read 1,408 pages of this book during my lunch time. The aim is to learn from Dr. Watson. Here is a pattern he discovered:
‘Very interesting reading it might be made, too,’ remarked Sherlock Holmes, sticking a small piece of plaster over the prick on his finger. ‘I have to be careful,’ he continued, turning to me with a smile, ‘for I dabble with poisons a good deal.’ He held out his hand as he spoke, and I [Dr. Watson] noticed that it was all mottled over with similar pieces of plaster, and discoloured with strong acids.

I also noticed that Holmes analyzes dumps not too often but keeps his mouth shut like me for some time after seeing things there:
I [Sherlock Holmes] get in the dumps at times, and don’t open my mouth for days on end.
A Study in Scarlet, Part 1, 1: Mr. Sherlock Holmes, page 17
Important trait of a memory dump analyst:
I [Dr. Watson] am extremely lazy.
