Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo Ipse domi stimul ac nummos contemplar in arca. (The public hiss at me, but I cheer myself when in my own house I contemplate the coins in my strong-box.)
Arthur Conan Doyle
I suppose I shall have to compound a felony as usual.
Arthur Conan Doyle
There are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them.
Arthur Conan Doyle
Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?' To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.' The dog did nothing in the night-time.' That was the curious incident,' remarked Sherlock Holmes.
