Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet

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

"Didn't I tell you so when we started?" cried Sherlock Holmes with a laugh. "That's the result of all our Study in Scarlet: to get them a testimonial!"

"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.'"
