Question about text in: N or M (Agatha Christie)

Hi, I hope you will help me:

1) in this text:



Bletchley ended up wrathfully.



"And will they make use of me now? No, they will not. Too old. Too old be damned. I could teach one or two of these young cubs something about war."



"Even if it's only what not to do?" suggested Tommy with a smile.



"Eh, what's that?"



A sense of humour was clearly not Major Bletchley's strong suit. He peered suspiciously at his companion. Tommy hastened to change the conversation.

what is mean: "Even if it's only what not to do?"

2) what is mean:

"Dr Livingstone to you"

I know about Dr Livingstone. "to you" is matter. is that mean similar to Dr...?? or ???

3) "a pair of pale gooseberry eyes" means eyes similar to goosberry?
