"Looking for anything of note on this world and the people in it" is a rather wide net, because she could really be looking for anything at all; many of these files are old cases, or a compendium of notable people he's clipped out of the paper. Estbalishments in and around all of Great Britain, both old and new. He does notice, however, that she has left all of his accoutrements and notes revolving around scientific topics alone. (Presumably, she did not make a mess of his chemistry set...)
God, where to start? He spins on a heel, plucks up one book in particular from the mess, flips through its pages. It tells him nothing, ultimately.]
I can help you, you know, find whatever it is you're looking for. Given there's obvious desperation in the tumult and storm you've set upon my flat, I'd even feel comfortable in remitting the fee.
