In reading Sherlock Holmes, there are quite a few lines in French or German without translation. Would the average English reader in the 1890s be expected to understand multiple languages?

Were the foreign language portions included as simply a means of showing Holmes' brilliance or was there something more to it? I know very little about the Victorian period and thus don't know the intellectual expectations with which Doyle was working.
