I went into the house and was informed, to my great astonishment, that the ephemeral Minister was being measured for his official suit, an act which so completely denoted the character of the conspirator that it gave me an insight into the business. Mallet repaired to General Hulin, who had the command of Paris.
"Go also, Catesby," said Richard to his follower, who had taken his post near him, "and clear the chamber." As soon as the three members of the royal family were left alone, the king, stretching himself, with a slight yawn, observed, "This man looks not like a conspirator, brother Richard, though his sententiary as to nature and science lacked loyalty and respect."
The want of personal ambition on the part of William the Silent inflicted perhaps a serious damage upon his country. He believed a single chief requisite for the united states; he might have been, but always refused to become that chief; and yet he has been held up for centuries by many writers as a conspirator and a self-seeking intriguer.
"Very good; but still the attempt must be really made, so that Fanfaro could be convicted." "I have attended to that. One of our agents will set the harmless attempt in motion, and the individual selected who, by the way, has escaped the gallows more than once will swear in court that Fanfaro is the intellectual head of the assassination and chief conspirator."
Glancing from the side of the window I saw that Gretchen and the innkeeper were gone. Yes, there wasn't any doubt about it; Gretchen was a conspirator. The police were hunting for her, and she was threatened with discovery. It was beyond my imagination what she could have done. Moreover, she was rather courting danger; the military post was only five miles down the river.

He exposed, if exposure be the fitting word when half the persons present knew as much as he could tell them, the history of Catiline's proceedings.
Are you afraid that I shall denounce you at the Quirinal?" "No flies enter a closed mouth," replied the old conspirator, justifying the proverb by the manner in which he shut his toothless mouth, into which, indeed, at that moment, neither a fly nor the tiniest grain of dust could enter.
"The general was yet wiping his sword, when a faithful friend came to him, and told him he had only just time to save himself. In fact, he happily succeeded in leaving France yes, happily for a fortnight after, he was condemned to death as a conspirator." "What misfortunes, good heaven!" "There was some luck, however, in the midst of his troubles.
She caressed it skilfully; and, with the art of an experienced conspirator, she fomented every germ of false honour, of quintessential devotedness, and extravagant rashness. Mazarin, who, like Richelieu, had an admirable police, forewarned of Madame de Chevreuse's machinations, fully comprehended the danger with which he was menaced.
"Of the people!" said they; "and whence comes this little bricklayer with his plastered clothes?" "Ah!" interrupted another, "dost not see that 'tis some gentleman in disguise? Look at his white hands! He never worked a square; 'tis some little dandy conspirator. I've a great mind to go and fetch the captain of the watch to arrest him."
