Canon Story: The Hound of the Baskervilles
Title: Guard

Dark smoke poured from the engine into the sky in a twisting spire as the train shrank into the distance. Sir Henry was in the best hands I could leave any man, but he and his dependable guard were treading into dangerous, uncharted waters. My brain fixated itself upon the Satires of Juvenal. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes, if not myself?


[Quis custodiet ipsos custodes = Who will guard the guards themselves? / Who watches the watchmen?]

Who watches the watchmen?

your coded message would lead me to believe that you had sent the good Doctor to a terrifying Cthonic end!!!

I really like the image of the departing train this conjures up.

Heh. Memories of Latin at school and buying the Penguin translation in order to read the rude ones...
