YEah, sometimes ideas can suddenly explode into really big, complex things. I have one or two planned fills taht have stalled for that reason. I need to doa little research and then will try again. I hate leaving an OP hanging.
The reference to Lestrade turns out to be 'dapper' and 'ferret-like', as opposed to merely ratty, and it's from The Adventure of the Cardboard Box:
"A shower of rain fell while we were in the train, and the heat was far less oppressive in Croydon than in town. Holmes had sent on a wire, so that Lestrade, as wiry, as dapper, and as ferret-like as ever, was waiting for us at the station."
The rodentine comparisons aren't restricted to ferrets, though, I'm sure. I'll have to look at some other stories for evidence, though.
Anyway, new Lestrade is not in the slightest bit ferret-like. Though ferrets can be very pretty.
