There are certainly other cases in which Watson had no hand.When Helen Stoner ('The Adventure of the Speckled Band') refers to the case of Mrs. Farintosh and her opal tiara by way of reference, Holmes says: "I think it was before your time, Watson."In 'The Adventure of the Second Stain,' Watson says that in 17 of the 23 years that Sherlock Holmes was in active practice, he "was allowed to co-operate with him and to keep notes of his doings" leaving six years where the two were not together.

"Sir, I can stand this strain no longer, I shall go mad if it continues. I have no one to turn to - none, save only one, who cares for me, and he, poor fellow, can be of little aid. I have heard of you, Mr. Holmes; I have heard of you from Mrs. Farintosh, whom you helped in the hour of her sore need. It was from her that I had your address. Oh, sir, do you not think you could help me too, and at least throw a little light through the dense darkness which surrounds me?" -- Helen Stoner, 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band'
