I looked this up...
Quintus Horacius Flaccus (otherwise known as Horace), Latin Poet,
Satirist:
"Aut insanit homo, aut versus facit" translates as "The fellow is either
mad or he is composing verses." I don't think Ardway's composing
verses.

"Ardway" DOES sound like Pig Latin. (A ward of what asylum, I wonder?)
