The autocracy had been feared only while it had been able to assert universal invincibility. Plots and counterplots added to the general uneasiness; failing to soothe them, more than one minister had been dismissed in disgrace. In the Imperial Palace a war conference had been called with reference to a new and startling development. A map lay spread upon the table.
In the 'Chouans, and again in the 'Ténébreuse Affaire, he has complicated plots and counterplots entangled almost to confusion, but the reader "receives no impression of reality or life" even if these novels cannot be dismist as empty examples of "airless, elaborate mechanism."

In his address to the ship's personnel this morning, Captain Nails had made it quite clear that they wanted no part of the plots and counterplots of Earth; that theirs was the job of scientists, not soldiers; that a path was open to them that they would follow. Later, they could return.
In the very midst of all these plots and counterplots, Bodmans and Grafignis, English geldings and Irish greyhounds, dishes of plums and autograph letters of her Majesty and his Highness, the Prince was deliberately discussing all the details of the invasion, which, as it was then hoped, would be ready by the autumn of the year 1586.
