What is the latin phrase at the end of Conan Doyle's Scarlet?

Answer 1

From the ending of 'A Study In Scarlet':

[Watson reads from the newspaper] '. . . It is an open secret that the credit of this smart capture belongs entirely to the well-known Scotland Yard officials, Messrs Lestrade and Gregson. The man was apprehended, it appears, in the rooms of a certain Mr Sherlock Holmes, who has himself, as an amateur, shown some talent in the detective line, and who, with such instructors, may hope in time to attain to some degree of their skill. It is expected that a testimonial of some sort will be presented to the two officers as a fitting recognition of their services.'

___'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." '

The Latin quote comes from, Horace, Book 1, Satire 1, and it means:

"The public hisses at me, but I applaud myself in my own house, and simultaneously contemplate the money in my chest."
