“I did it clumsily” [DANC]

Sherlock Holmes was a man of great precision. We learn about his attention to detail and his preferences for improving the art of detection from the very first time we meet him.
But there were instances of clumsiness — his own and from others — that crop up throughout the Canon. It's just a Trifle.
