Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet

PART II. The Country of the Saints.
7. CHAPTER VII. THE CONCLUSION. (continued)

"Never mind," I answered, "I have all the facts in my journal, and the public shall know them. In the meantime you must make yourself contented by the consciousness of success, like the Roman miser --

"`Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo
Ipse domi simul ac nummos contemplar in arca.'"
